§ Mr. van Straubenzeeasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what is the current average cost per place per annum of students in establishments of further education engaged in school level work, intermediate level work and advanced level work, respectively.
§ Mr. Edward ShortCourses of further education are now classified as Al, A2, B and C, of which Al and A2 together broadly correspond to the old classification of advanced level work, B to intermediate level and C school level. I estimate the annual net cost per full-time equivalent student in 1969–70 at £684 for A1, £584 for A2, £428 for B and £368 for C. These figures take no account of any increase in teachers' salaries in further education from 1st April, 1969.
