Same as the education argument when in fact there is no correlation between money spent and outcomes when looking at urban schools.

What?

Urban schools in the UK do much, much better than non-urban schools. And the argument here is that rural and non-urban areas do worse because they don't get enough resources.

It's a big criticism in the UK because schools in cities like London in the UK are disproportionately outperforming other areas and sending kids to Oxford/Cambridge.

I'm not sure Labour in the UK has ever said that urban areas need more resources. They'd be laughed at because cities in the UK disproportionately get most of the resources.

And schools in urban areas in the UK do better at A-level and the argument is that the government has heavily focused on the education of kids in the capital as opposed to anywhere else.

London vs the rest of the country is a very big divide.
