Funding for the educational field may have several advantageous effects on the neighbourhood. These effects include, among others:

More resources for students: The funding can give students more resources like access to online learning platforms, textbooks, and educational software.

Enhanced extracurricular activities: Schools could offer more extracurricular activities like athletics, music, and drama with more funding. This can support students in pursuing their interests and abilities outside of the classroom.

More scholarships and financial aid: The money can be used to give to students who require more scholarships and financial support. This may make it easier for students from low-income families to obtain an education.

Class size reduction: The budget can be used to employ more teachers, which will reduce class size. This can assist teachers in giving each pupil more individualised attention and enhancing learning outcomes.

Overall, a city can help its residents receive better education and contribute to the development of the neighbourhood by setting a maximum budget for the education sector.
