Education remains one of the most important topics for many families in the UK. Baring that in mind parties use the education topic to foster their campaigns. By promising to increase the budget spent on schools and teachers, politicians try to gain votes for their campaigns. Summed up, the Conservatives promise an increase of 4 billion pounds by 2022, whereas the liberal democrats want to invest nearly 7 billion pounds extra in education. Labour promises to reverse cuts and ensure a fair funding which will mean a 1.6% increase of funding from 2015/16 to 2021/22. Both parties, however, agree on the relevance of a stable education system as well as on the importance on outstanding teaching for our children.
