Treasury announcements - Colleges comment

Publication date: 24 May 2010

Martin Doel, Association of Colleges Chief Executive, commented on the major announcements on savings made today (24 May) by the Treasury.

“We are very pleased that today’s Treasury announcement identifies College provision as one of the few areas where savings are being re-invested. This no doubt reflects the importance of the provision, as do the various references to Colleges and further education made by George Osborne and David Laws today. New funding for College capital projects and for adult apprenticeships is very welcome, as is the protection afforded to education for 16- to 19-year-olds. Two thirds of students of this age choose a College education.”
