IFS warns education budget cuts could undermine schools and colleges
According to a new report, funded by the Nuffield Foundation, protecting schools and the 16-19 education budget would require a more than 20% cut across areas such as adult education, apprenticeships, higher education support and other education funding

The Department for Education in England could face a £2.6bn cut by 2028-29 if treated like other unprotected budgets, potentially reducing school and college funding amid growing challenges, the IFS has said.
