Funding And Part-Time Students
EDM number 1530 in 2005-06, proposed by Timothy Farron on 31/01/2006.
That this House notes that higher education institutions are currently only funded by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) for part-time students who complete their learning intention; further notes that this can lead to a higher education institution being not funded at all for a student for example who signs up for four modules and only completes three; further notes that a system whereby higher education institutions were funded according to the credits obtained by students rather than on a basis of learning agreements would be more conducive to flexible learning; and calls on the Government to implement the proposals as set out in the HEFCE review of the teaching funding method which ended in January.
This motion has been signed by a total of 38 MPs.
