A major independent review of how education funding in Wales is allocated to schools, colleges and universities has been announced by Education Minister Leighton Andrews. The Minister said: “We need to ensure our funding reaches the education front lines.” The First Minister for Wales made a commitment in his manifesto to refocus educational investment. The Education Minister has pledged to make this commitment a priority and the review will take this important agenda forward. The review will be conducted in two stages by external consultants with experience and expertise in this field to ensure complete objectivity and impartiality.
