HC Deb 18 May 1978 vol 950 cc284-5W
Dr. Hampson

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what is the net recurrent cost of a student in the new institutions of higher education.

Mr. Oakes

Establishments of further education are not formally classified in a way which enables a reply to be given in the form requested. In 1976–77, the average net institutional recurrent cost per full-time equivalent student on advanced level courses at major establishments of further education, other than polytechnics, was £1,370—at 1977 survey prices.
