The big winners in Gov. Jerry Brown's plan to sharply increase education funding are California undergraduates at UC, who will have their tuition frozen for two more years, and the millions of elementary, secondary and community college students who are likely to see more teachers and counselors hired on their campuses. With state revenues growing faster than previously expected, Brown said Thursday that he wants to pay down $436 million in UC's pension debts over the next three years and boost spending by $3,000 for each of the state's 6 million K-12 students. Additional money will also be given to public schools with large numbers of low-income students. Brown's revised budget was welcomed by campuses and school districts that had suffered layoffs and cuts in programs during the recession.
