Further Education plea to budget leniencyDated: 22/03/2010

Further education providers/colleges in England are calling on Chancellor Alistair Darling to protect adult students from cuts in his budget on Wednesday.

The providers/colleges say they face a £200m cut in funding for adults, and that some courses could close as a result.

Institutions face an average budget cut of 16% for adult learning, suggests a survey by the Association of Colleges.

The government says it will spend more than £3.5bn on further education and skills in 2010-11.
