An
increasing military presence is entering schools across Britain. Even
as the government slashed education maintenance allowance (EMA),
disabled students allowance (DSA) and mental health services for young
people, £45 million of new military programmes have been introduced
since 2011. Help us start a public conversation about militarism in our
society.

Note from MH: as is often the case material comes from BYM that is about devolved issues and only deals with England. So please note Wales, Scotland & NI do not necessary have the same policies for education as they do in England. Meeting for Friends in Wales talked of this problem at the meeting on June 27th.
The template letter to your MP is clear that it is about England.
I will research the situation in Wales - Forces Watch do have some information and will make a new post when I have some information
