Funding crisis in education - @Chris_Lyttle says schools need more than just a big injection of cash

We started the programme today talking about the crisis in social care funding. And there's a crisis, too, in our schools. The education system in Northern Ireland is facing a £350m funding gap by 2019 if it does not get more money. The warning comes from the Education Authority which has also revealed that almost 400 schools will be in budget deficit this year - the highest number ever. The Authority has been briefing head teachers and politicians, including the Alliance party's education spokesman Chris Lyttle. He joined Chris Buckler this morning along with headteacher Kathleen O'Hare from Hazelwood Integrated School in Newtownabbey.
