HC Deb 02 March 1993 vol 220 c117W
24. Ms Lynne

To ask the Secretary of State for Education what plans he has to assist with funding for training and postgraduate education of part-time students.

Mr. Boswell

Part-time students following designated courses of initial teacher training may qualify for mandatory awards in respect of their maintenance and tuition fees. They may also apply for student loans. Students on other part-time courses may apply for discretionary awards from the appropriate grant-making body. There are no present plans to change these arrangements.
