Granted - but could that fund not have been used to reduce cuts in the UK? It may not have come from cuts but it has come from somewhere - likely us?
Seems very unfair that UK schools have received a massive cut to their budgets but we can send out 60 million (initially) to aid another country's schools? Off course I understand it's not this simple and not as black and white as it looks - there are the points you mention to consider which I agree with. But telling a country you're hiking taxes & slashing their school budget and then sending a shedload of money out to help another country's schools is bound to upset people.
