Expenditure on lifelong learning Sample Clauses

Expenditure on lifelong learning. It is often the case that public funding responds to policy shifts and anticipated economic and social changes. It is also reasonable to assume that any increase in expenditure on the lifelong learning sector might require (or indeed enable) an expansion in the overall size of the workforce. Public sector investment in recent years has undoubtedly been a significant driver of continued growth in education as a whole, including in the lifelong learning sector. However, it is important also to note the increasing policy emphasis on investment in lifelong learning from sources other than public expenditure. For example, in England, the XX Xxxxx Paper ‘Further education: raising skills, improving life chances’ (DfES, 2006c) confirmed the government’s commitment to extending demand-led funding for the majority of FE and WBL provision (mainly from employers) within a decade. Moreover, in England, the introduction of variable tuition fees from 2006 (with increased levels of financial support for those most needing it), as a result of the Higher Education Act (HMSO, 2004), is anticipated to provide additional resources to enable higher levels of participation in HE. As a result, the FE, WBL and HE constituencies, in particular, (HM Treasury, 2005c, p.45) (and especially in England) will require staff with the skills needed to secure and sustain funding from a diverse range of sources in the future. Nevertheless, in the UK, education (including lifelong learning) remains the second largest area of public expenditure after health, with a 5.5% share of total GDP in 2004/05 (HM Treasury, 2005c, p.45). It is projected to remain relatively stable over coming decades which “reflects the fact that the number of people of education age (either in schools, higher education or further education) is projected to vary only slightly” (ibid., p.44). However, growth in levels of public expenditure is expected to vary across the different phases of education. A recent report by the House of Commons Education and Skills Committee (2006) commented on the fact that, while spending on schools in England since 1998/99 has increased in real terms by 50% and spending on FE has increased by 56%, HE expenditure has only increased by 18% over the same period. The Committee expressed concern about the apparent shift in government priorities towards schools and FE and away from HE. The government’s response (House of Commons, 2006) confirmed that the introduction of variable fees was expected...

In Scotland, the Scottish Executive’s spending plans for 2005–2008 (Scottish Executive, 2004b) include a healthy 12% increase in planned expenditure for the Scottish Higher Education Funding Council, and a 13% increase for Scottish Further Education Council (both now incorporated in the Scottish Further and Higher Education Funding Council). In 2004-2005, the Scottish Funding Council (SFC) contributed £400m for the general operations of Scottish colleges, whilst £50m was obtained from the Scottish Council for the provision of bursaries to students in the UK (Scottish Executive, 2006e). So while it is anticipated that the lifelong learning sector will continue to receive substantial government investment, some of the stakeholders interviewed were of the opinion, in agreement with the final recommendations made by Xxxx Xxxxxx (2006), that additional funding for lifelong learning would increasingly need to be contributed by individuals and employers. Certainly, stakeholders within the FE constituency anticipated that they would increasingly be challenged to become more entrepreneurial in order to attract alternative sources of demand-led funding. It also seems likely that funding changes will not be experienced equally or in the s...
