England needs more than half a million extra primary school places before the end of the decade, ministers have admitted. By the Government’s own calculations, 543 new nursery and primary schools are needed within eight years. The immigrant baby boom has put unprecedented strain on an education system that is already struggling under a surge in pupil numbers. Strained system: Hundreds of new schools will be needed due to rising pupil numbers Strained system: Hundreds of new schools will be needed due to rising pupil numbers Ministers described the shortfall as a ‘major issue’, and one campaign group claimed it could cost the taxpayer £40billion. The predictions follow the chaos at the start of this school year which left hundreds of pupils without a place and thousands taught in makeshift classrooms. The figures are released as the Department of Education is forced to slash its capital budget – the fund for the building of new schools – by 60 per cent by 2014/15. Statisticians put the trend down to the rising population of foreign-born women of childbearing age. An official count yesterday showed the number of people living in Britain who were born abroad has more than doubled over 30 years. And birth rate figures show the UK population is now increasing in line with the post-war baby boom. foreign born residents soar.jpg It has risen by 10 per cent over the last 25 years and is expected to rise by 16 per cent over the next 25. Despite this, the Labour government closed more than 1,000 primary schools from 1999 while allowing record immigration. Every region of England will see surging pupil numbers with London, the South East and the Midlands worst hit. The South West will be the least affected. The Department of Education said the number of primary school pupils, currently 3.96million, will increase to 4.5million in 2018, an increase of 540,000. The number of nursery and primary schools needed to accommodate the surge must rise from today’s 3,986 to 4,529. Meanwhile, Government spending on school buildings will fall from £7.6billion this year to £4.9billion next year and £3.4billion in 2014/2015. It has launched a capital spending review to assess where the reduced funding should be targeted. Schools minister Lord Hill said: ‘It’s clear that rising pupil numbers are a major issue facing the schools system. ‘We will continue to work very closely with local authorities, particularly in London, to ensure that we meet rising demand for school places effectively over coming years. ‘Our new Free School policy also has a part to play in allowing teachers, parents and charities to set up new schools in areas where there is a shortage of places.’ The immigration baby boom has resulted in doubling in number of pupils who do not speak English as their first language. Currently the figure stands at 16 per cent of students and is set to increase to 23 per cent in 2018. It is most marked in London where in some boroughs, such as Tower Hamlets, youngsters with a different mother tongue make up nearly 80 per cent of primary pupils. School place shortages caused mayhem at the start of the school year in September. Councils in many parts of the country, including London and Birmingham, were massively oversubscribed. As term started Brent, in North West London, had 210 four-year-olds without a reception class place but only 24 vacancies. Officials in Newham had to put four classes in a church hall and hundreds of other schools used temporary buildings. The Office for National Statistics population figures show an 11 per cent increase in immigration in Labour years. The foreign-born population includes around 1.3million from the Asian sub-continent and a similar number from Africa. People born in Ireland, the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand together total slightly under 900,000. Campaign group MigrationWatch put the cost of additional school places at £40billion.

We have 13 years of Labour to thank for this. |

That episode of South Park which had all those rednecks screaming "They took our jobs!" in a ridiculous fashion well and truly made debate about overpopulation impossible, due to idiots just quoting the episode whenever you try to engage them in a intelligent debate, but for God's sake it doesn't take a genius to realise the MORE people are brought into a country the LESS jobs and of course spaces in schools there will be, ESPECIALLY in a country as small as Britain, and even moreso when we are dealing with Muslims, a people who see it impossible to have a household consisting of a sensible amount of children. Another classic is "Muslims come to this country and do the work British people won't!!!!". That's a laugh. More like us British people are doing the jobs we wouldn't of dreamed of in the past simply due to the lack of opportunities elsewhere, due of course to overpopulation. "Well it isn't the Muslims fault they get the jobs, it's your own for not working hard enough!!!", in a country which is so obsessed with this "Rich Diversity" nonsense that they will actually go out of their way to hire people of all different religions and creeds for their image, this is simply not the case. |

This was a quite deliberate Labour policy to put us into this mess: http://crombouke.blogspot.com/2010/02/labour-have-deliberately-destroyed.html I wonder whether since the immigrants who arrived under Labour were imported under false pretences, they could all be declared illegal and ecouraged to move elsewhere before they outbreed us. Remember that one single male muslim immigrant can legally import 4 wives, each of which will produce 8 to 10 offspring. |
