Cut to adult further education budget

On 26 February the Government announced a further huge cut to adult further education in England with funding decreasing by 25% for the 2015-16 academic year. This information is available via the annual grant letter from the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) to the Skills Funding Agency (SFA) and a subsequent letter from SFA to college principals. Our briefing note below explains this in more detail. We have also released a press statement and blog about this.
