"If we are going to keep teachers and teaching assistants on the front line that means we are going to have to be disciplined on public sector pay, including in education."

Well, it shouldn't take Balls (Mr. Balls, that is) to mention that it's more financially rewarding for schools to cut costs by pooling administrative resources instead of cutting teachers. It's just common sense. At lease someone out there is talking sense and getting heard.
