By 2024, the IFS said, it will be 24 per cent lower than in 2012.<\/p>\n<p>Higher inflation has also drastically curbed the the value of maintenance support, with students effectively \u00a3107 poorer than in 2020\/21.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/11\/01\/78804321-12848715-Chancellor_Jeremy_Hunt_used_his_autumn_statement_to_offer_suppor-a-36_1702259691666.jpg\" height=\"443\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Chancellor Jeremy Hunt used his autumn statement to offer support to businesses and cut the main rate of national insurance, while also pencilling in sharp curbs in public spending beyond the next general election<\/p>\n<p>Daniel Kebede, general secretary of the National Education Union, said: \u2018While the Prime Minister speaks regularly of wanting to create a world-class education system, the policies of his Government are resulting in the exact opposite.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018There is no end in sight for the perilous funding situation in our schools, sixth form colleges and early years education.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>He said that an increase in school funding of \u00a31.7 billion is needed over the next two years, but warned even that sum would be a \u2018sticking plaster\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Geoff Barton, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, said the report showed \u2018the reality behind the Government\u2019s boasts about record funding for schools.
