On 22 October 2021, the BBC reported<\/a> on a research publication<\/a> by the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) and claimed that \u201cNorthern Ireland spends less on each school pupil\u2019s education than any other part of the UK\u201d. The news article reported that about \u00a36,400 would be spent per pupil in Northern Ireland in 2021\u201322, compared with \u00a37,600 in Scotland, according to IFS figures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A similar claim was fact checked by FactCheckNI in 2018: \u201cDo our primary pupils receive least per child?<\/a>\u201d It concluded the claim was \u201caccurate with consideration\u201d: public expenditure on pre-primary and primary education in Northern Ireland at that time was least per child, while Northern Ireland had the second highest level of expenditure on overall education per head of population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This fact check analyses updated information published by HM Treasury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following table summarises the total identifiable spend<\/b> (figures are in \u00a3) on education per head of population<\/b>, by category, for England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland (taken from tables 10.8, 10.5, 10.6, and 10.7 in the Public Expenditure Statistical Analyses 2021<\/a> data produced by HM Treasury for the fiscal year 2019\/20).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This data shows that total education spend per head in Northern Ireland (\u00a31,528) was higher  than England and Wales, but lower than Scotland. Northern Ireland had a much higher spending per head on \u201csubsidiary services to education\u201d and \u201ceducation not elsewhere classified (n.e.c.)\u201d, which could include spending that directly supports schools such as school transport, pupil support and special education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Northern Ireland has a comparatively large school age population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using the total education spend figures from the same report (tables 10.4, 10.1, 10.2, and 10.3) and figures for pupil numbers from the national and devolved education departments, allows the spend per pupil<\/b> to be calculated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a percentage of the overall population, the school population of Northern Ireland is 40% larger than Scotland, which is reflected in Northern Ireland\u2019s lower spending on a per pupil basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if all of the \u201ceducation n.e.c.\u201d and \u201csubsidiary services to education\u201d spend was classified as school spending, spending on a per-pupil basis would still be lower in Northern Ireland compared with Great Britain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
