Schools in England are facing severe financial constraints, prompting redundancies among teachers and teaching assistants, undermining recent governmental promises to enhance education. Following a decade of funding cuts, unions are warning of ongoing job losses if the government does not commit to covering the costs of next year's teachers' pay rise.
