V-cs impede colleges' for extra cash

Article Abstract:

The Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) is being castigated by further education colleges for not comprehending how funding for the colleges is organised. Some college principals claim they are not prepared to charge higher tuition fees. A number of observers suggest the HEFCE is unprepared to alter the way funding is allocated in order to suit the needs of university vice chancellors. Colleges will not be able to compete fairly, for the extra 36,000 students anticipated in the year 2000, if they do not have sufficient funding.

Season of goodwill job hunting

Article Abstract:

Employers and university students should adopt a different approach to menial work experience in stores and bars to focus more on the valuable skills obtained, such as customer relations management and numeracy. The government is seeking to prepare students for work and make graduates more employable while simultaneously enhancing workforce skills. A National Centre for Work Experience is being established by the Council for Industry and Higher Education to promote and develop student work experience.
