It was nice to see reported in the news tonight that the government has scrapped its plans to clawback the surplus monies that schools had carefully budgeted and saved in order to invest in building improvements / ambitious projects.
The whole idea of it - to penalise careful and prudent budget management by taking back the saved money and therefore forcing schools into defecit when the unforseen problem arouse - was bizzare.
Let's hope that it doesn't reappear in the future in a typical governmental stealth move.
