The following extract has been taken from this years Budget statement, I have extracted it from the eGov monitor website:

Schools, children and families

Personalised Learning: £220m in 2006-07, and £365m in 2007-08, to be paid direct to schools to help them to provide greater personalisation of learning in and beyond the school day, especially for children from disadvantaged backgrounds.

This increase is on top of funding for personalisation in the Dedicated Schools Grant of £220m in 2006-07, rising to £565m in 2007-08, announced last year; so that in 2007-08, schools will receive a total of £930m to deliver tailored support to meet children’s particular needs and interests.

Schools Capital: Further capital investment in school buildings and ICT, increasing by £1.6 billion to £8.035 billion by 2010-11.

This new investment is on top of funding allocated to schools capital projects of £5.879 billion in 2006-07 and £6.435 billion in 2007-08. It builds on the Government’s existing long-term commitment to transform buildings and ICT and provide 21st-Century facilities for pupils across the country.

ICT: £10 million (£5m in 2006-07 and £5m in 2007-08) for ICT to ensure access to the internet for the most disadvantaged secondary school pupils. The investment will ensure that pupils benefiting from the home computer scheme announced in Budget 2005 have access to the internet.
