Higher Education Finance

Abstract

The first session was taken by Gerry Fowler MP, and I doubt whether a better qualified person could be found to talk on higher education finance. He started by outlining seven weaknesses in the present system of management and financing of advanced further education; the weaknesses can be summarised thus — AFE meets a national need, but management responsibility lies locally and is financed from the “pool”. As a result, management responsibility residing with the local education authority is effectively divorced from the financial responsibility residing with all LEAs collectively.
