Funding
Funding is a hot topic within FE, with colleges and educational institutes consistently saying they need more.
The cost of living crisis has only fuelled this need even further.
In April 2023, research found that over 50% of education staff spent their own money on school supplies. This shows that funding is needed to provide students with the supplies and materials they need to have a high-quality education.
In November 2022, Malcolm Cooper, MCA Cooper Associates, wrote for FE News to explain how the way FE provision is funded was about to undergo its biggest change in years.
2023 has been full of discussions over teacher pay, specifically, the funding to allow colleges and FE institutes to pay their teachers more. The discussion over this rise in pay has also been sparked by the pandemic and the cost of living crisis.
