Nick Clegg has pledged to protect spending on education from ages two to 19 as a central part of the Liberal Democrat manifesto.
The Lib Dem leader says his party, unlike Labour or the Conservatives, will maintain funding for nurseries, schools and further education institutions in real terms and per pupil.
The pledge is nevertheless dependent on an economic plan that - like that of their coalition partners the Conservatives - depends on balancing the country's books by 2017-18.
Beyond that point, the party says it will allow public spending to rise in line with growth which, on current projections, would allow substantial investment in education and health.
On the NHS, the Lib Dems have pledged to meet what is described as a potential funding shortfall of £8bn per year by the end of the next parliament.
The Lib Dems are focussing on tried and tested policy ideas for their manifesto.

Alongside investment in public services is a continued focus on increasing the personal tax allowance, a policy that was on the front of the party's 2010 manifesto and found such great favour with the Conservatives that it is now one of their own most-trumpeted accomplishments.
The 2010 manifesto, which in several key areas laid the foundations for five years of coalition government, was nevertheless scarred by a commitment to scrapping tuition fees which, when subsequently abandoned, destroyed the party's currency with a substantial number of supporters.
As a result, one can expect journalists and Lib Dem activists alike to be scouring the fine print to ensure there are no unwelcome surprises in their latest offering.
