<p>The table below shows the value of the core schools budget each year since 2015-16:</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Year</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Core
schools budget (in billions of pounds)</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2015-16</strong></p></td><td><p>39.6</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2016-17</strong></p></td><td><p>40.1</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2017-18</strong></p></td><td><p>40.9</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2018-19</strong></p></td><td><p>42.4</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2019-20</strong></p></td><td><p>43.5</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2020-21</strong></p></td><td><p>47.6</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2021-22</strong></p></td><td><p>49.8</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2022-23</strong></p></td><td><p>52.2</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>
</p><p>The figures for 2020-21 to 2022-23 include the £1.5 billion per year that the
Department will provide to fund additional pension costs for teachers.</p><p>Changes
to the school funding system mean that the Department does not have comparable figures
for years before 2015-16.</p><p> </p><p><strong><br> </strong></p>
