The Labour Party is calling for an increase in spending on education.
At its national conference in Galway today, it hit out at cutbacks to school funding.
It says our schools are overcrowded, with student numbers expected to increase to 600-thousand in the next ten years.
It's proposing a new school building programme, and it wants to increase education spending to 7 per cent of GDP over a five year period.
