5:09:45 > 5:09:47Miss?
5:09:48 > 5:09:51Why didn't we go to the library today?
5:09:51 > 5:09:54- Because we don't have a library any more.- Why?
5:09:54 > 5:09:56Because we can't afford it.
5:09:56 > 5:10:01- The school's had to make big cuts. - Cuts like with a knife, miss?
5:10:01 > 5:10:04No, it means that the school can't afford to pay for things like
5:10:04 > 5:10:10the library any more or shows or books or school visits.
5:10:10 > 5:10:14- CHILDREN:- Awww! No more school visits?
5:10:15 > 5:10:19Miss, will every school stop having school visits?
5:10:19 > 5:10:22Well, every school in England will have to make big cuts.
5:10:22 > 5:10:25They'll probably have to lose some staff, too.
5:10:25 > 5:10:28Some schools, like this one, will lose maybe ten teachers.
5:10:28 > 5:10:31Miss, are you leaving?
5:10:32 > 5:10:34I don't know yet.
5:10:34 > 5:10:38But if ten teachers go, how will we do all of our lessons?
5:10:38 > 5:10:42You won't. Some subjects won't be taught any more.
5:10:42 > 5:10:46- Does that mean we get more free time?- I don't think so!
5:10:46 > 5:10:47It will be hard, though.
5:10:47 > 5:10:50With less teachers, that means there'll be more children
5:10:50 > 5:10:55in each class, so there'll be 35 to 40 of you in your class.
5:10:55 > 5:10:58And that means that the teachers will have less time to spend
5:10:58 > 5:11:01with each of you, helping you learn and do well in your exams.
5:11:01 > 5:11:05So why don't the teachers stay?
5:11:05 > 5:11:06Well, they don't want to leave,
5:11:06 > 5:11:10but the Government's cut the money that the schools need to pay them.
5:11:10 > 5:11:12But that's not fair!
5:11:12 > 5:11:14Why doesn't someone stop them?
5:11:14 > 5:11:17Well, that's what Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour Party want to do.
5:11:17 > 5:11:20They want to give schools the money that they need to pay for the
5:11:20 > 5:11:24teachers and pay for things like libraries and school visits.
5:11:24 > 5:11:27Labour will guarantee smaller class sizes, too,
5:11:27 > 5:11:30so there'll be a maximum of 30 of you in each class.
5:11:30 > 5:11:35And Labour will fully fund free school dinners for every
5:11:35 > 5:11:38child between the age of four and 11.
5:11:38 > 5:11:40Can the Labour Party do that?
5:11:40 > 5:11:44Yes, they can. And they've promised more, too.
5:11:44 > 5:11:48Labour will put the resources needed into childcare and
5:11:48 > 5:11:51early learning, to give all children a good start in life.
5:11:51 > 5:11:55Labour will progressively restore free education for all and
5:11:55 > 5:11:59guarantee quality apprenticeships and adult skills training.
