Is school funding at a record high in 2024?

/

Gillian Keegan, the Education Secretary, claimed that school funding was at a record high, but an IFS report contradicts this. The government manipulates statistics by focusing on specific age ranges to present a positive image. Cuts have been made in sixth form, Local Education Authorities, and capital spending, highlighting government bias in statistics. This emphasizes the importance of critical analysis in government data.

Men are more likely to commit serious crimes, be arrested, and go to jail. Women commit fewer serious offenses, are less likely to be jailed, and make up only 4% of the prison population. Both male and female crime rates have decreased, with men being arrested, prosecuted, and imprisoned at higher rates. Women receive lighter sentences and are more likely to receive community service.
