北爱尔兰教育部长因支出不可持续而要求进行预算改革,敦促英国财政部协调和重大变革,以解决入学率下降和薪酬成本上涨的问题。 Northern Ireland’s education minister demands budget reform due to unsustainable spending, urging UK Treasury coordination and major changes to address declining enrollment and rising pay costs.

教育部长保罗·吉万(Paul Givan)呼吁对北爱尔兰的预算制度进行重大改革,理由是财政压力无法持续,需要优先考虑公共部门的薪资。 Education Minister Paul Givan has called for a major reform of Northern Ireland’s budget system, citing unsustainable financial pressures and the need to prioritize public sector pay. 他指出,他的部门将其预算的82%花在工作人员身上,比其他部门多得多,而增加增量供资却无成效。 He noted his department spends 82% of its budget on staff—far more than other departments—making incremental funding increases ineffective. Givan敦促根据工资等不可避免的债务分配款项,并寻求与联合王国财政部进行更密切的协调,参照4亿英镑的储备基金。 Givan urged basing allocations on unavoidable obligations like pay and sought closer coordination with the UK Treasury, referencing a £400 million reserve fund. 他公布了一项五年教育战略,以解决预计学生入学率将下降13%的问题,包括减少学校人数和重新配置特殊需要支助,强调必须作出艰难的选择,确保资金得到有效利用。 He unveiled a five-year education strategy to address a projected 13% drop in student enrollment, including school reductions and reconfiguring special needs support, stressing the need for tough choices to ensure funds are used efficiently.
