Cornwall Labour Party has welcomed Labour's £69 million investment in Cornwall's schools, announced today by the Department for Children, Schools and Families.
Jude Robinson said: "We are proud of Labour's investment in our children, our schools and our county. The best education is absolutely vital to providing a better future and more opportunities.
"From Penzance to Pool, Camborne to Curnow, Redruth to Poltair, Labour is providing funds so that our schools can be refurbished and improved.
"The Tories neglected Cornwall and our schools for 18 years. The Liberal Democrats have given us nothing but an expensive Unitary council. Labour is the only party to deliver real change and real progress in Cornwall."
Through the Building Schools for the Future programme, the government intends to replace or refurbish all the 3,500 secondary schools in the country.
BSF aims to drive up educational achievement by providing better technology, buildings and new ways to teach. £6.5 million of Cornwall's bid will provide new information technology.
