LABOUR leader Jeremy Corbyn will join education trade unionists, campaigners, parents and children on a march through central London today to call on Chancellor Philip Hammond to increase funding to British schools.

National Education Union (NEU) joint general secretary Mary Bousted said Mr Hammond has “displayed his ignorance of the seriousness” of the funding crisis by offering £400 million for “little extras” in the Budget last month.

She said: “This was widely viewed by teachers, head teachers and support staff as an insult, at a time when schools are suffering a £2 billion shortfall in funding per year.
