What happened: A cross-party group of MPs has called on the government to increase school funding to better meet the needs of pupils requiring special education. This appeal comes as ministers review reforms to the Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) system.
Why it matters:
- Adequate funding is crucial to provide appropriate support for children with special educational needs.
- Schools and families affected by SEND could see improved resources and services if funding matches demand.
MNN Take: The MPs' request highlights concerns that current funding levels may not fully support SEND pupils. Aligning funding with actual needs could help ensure more effective education and care for these students.
