Association of Colleges

04 March 2009

Responding to today's (4 March) Ministerial statement on College capital investment, Martin Doel, AoC Chief Executive, said:
 
“The capital investment programme has helped Colleges develop world class facilities but delays for forthcoming projects will have a destabilising effect at a time when the nation needs Colleges to continue to play a central role in the response to the economic downturn. 
 
“We would encourage Government to identify where additional funds might be secured to sustain this programme and allow Colleges to do what they do supremely well – respond to the needs of business, individuals and communities.”
