Further Education Funding Council

HC Deb 28 June 1999 vol 334 cc52-3W

Mr. Boswell

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment when the Further Education Funding Council expects to announce firm allocations of finance to further education colleges to promote proposed curriculum changes. [88234]

Mr. Mudie

The Further Education Funding Council intends to consult shortly on its proposals for ensuring that the funding methodology reflects the proposed curriculum changes arising from the Qualifying for Success policies. Decisions on this will be taken by the Council at its December meeting this year, which will then be reflected in the provisional allocations for the 2000–01 academic year, to be issued to colleges in March 2000.
