Minutes:
Councillor Subedar, the Cabinet Member for Education and Lifelong Learning, submitted a report detailing the proposals contained in the "Leicester Pledge" which was aimed at raising educational standards. The Cabinet's views on options for increasing resources to schools to meet the Pledge were sought. It was noted that the 'Leicester Pledge' would be a two-way agreement between the City Council and schools; the Council would promise to provide effective support and challenge to schools, a leading edge IT learning grid and increased funding; schools, for their part, would agree to meet specific targets for improvements in the years ahead. It was noted that consultation with schools was still ongoing.
RESOLVED:
(1)that the Leicester Pledge be supported;
(2)that additional funding be provided to schools in the sum of £0.6 million in 2001/02, £1 million in 2002/03 and £1.5 million in 2003/04, subject to Council's approval to changes to the budget strategy; and
(3)that the Education and Lifelong Learning Scrutiny Committee and the Finance, Resources and Equal Opportunities Scrutiny Committee be requested to consider the proposals and make observations and endorse the action proposed.
