Sixth form colleges spending cuts

How is Gove getting away with spitting in the face of so many people?

"The analysis by the SFCA shows that budgets were slashed by 10 per cent three years ago, 6 per cent in 2012 and a further 1.2 per cent in 2013. The cuts stem from the fact the Government’s pledge to maintain funding for education only covers the years of compulsory education from the ages of five to 16."

While wasting so much money on vanity projects.

"The college leaders are also incensed that the Government has spent £62m setting up nine new free schools, offering education for 16 to 19-year-olds, which between them have just 1,557 pupils - less than the average number enrolled in just one sixth-form college. They estimate that the Government is spending more than £39,616 for every student at the free schools, compared to just £4,000 on those at sixth-form colleges."

I wasn't aware of this. That is shocking but not surprising sadly.
