I haven't seen any evidence that giving more money to academia improves student results. It certainly hasn't worked for colleges, where you've seen a negative correlation over many years between quality of education and funding.
- o11c 2y ago"Fewer students per teacher" is widely supported by research, and teachers do cost money. But obviously just blindly throwing money won't help.
