Annual survey reveals further education and sixth form colleges could experience particular hardship
Schools in England still face a “significant squeeze” on their budgets despite extra funding from the government, while colleges, universities and early years provision will have to account for rising prices without any additional help, according to the Institute for Fiscal Studies.
The IFS’s annual look at education spending reveals that further education and sixth form colleges could experience particular hardship, with rising numbers of students after steep cuts in funding until 2019, which have only been partially reversed by the government.
