Reasons To Disagree
While I don't support this in principle, having been involved in the administration of the education sector, there is certainly wasted expenditure which could be cut to either be re-allocated to classroom delivery or given back to taxpayers. Nope - Just kill the waste
In order to provide tax cuts the govt should remove the complexity in order to better pursue the estimated11 - 40 billion black economy, the taxes from which would increase our health and education back to first world, not third. OMG who thought up this stupid opinion??? Uggh, its unbelievable. Tax Cuts are unecessacary compared to the future of our kids and the world they live in. Ick, just dont even get me started. No way. Education is in desperate need of more funding. If the headmaster of Wellington College thinks forcing parents to pay the "donation" is the answer (as he said recently in a newspaper article), he needs a reality check. What will happen to students whose parents can't afford to pay? They'll have to go to another school - somewhere that doesn't provide as good an education and as many opportunities. That'll only help to continue the poverty cycle of growing up poor, getting a bad education and then raising kids in poverty. More funding, not pseudo-privatisation, is the answer. Improve the direction of spending - vouchers - drop the extraneous PC stuff off the syllabus - pay teachers on performance not time-serving Perhaps they should stop tinkering with the education system. It worked once but not really any more. Decrease spending? Hell no!

Reasons for Remain Neutral
It depends on where the money is going in "education". The system is too caught up in paperwork and processing information - it needs to be streamlined and simplified to reduce cost so that money can be redirected to teachers who actually have the most effective role in education. If deceasing spending means less teachers then the answer is a big fat no. Where money is being poured into black holes that see little or no educational results then by all means, cut away.
