The National Assembly for Wales’ Finance Committee has decided to undertake an inquiry into the funding of post 16, further and higher education and is calling for interested individuals and organisations to submit written evidence. The terms of reference for the inquiry were:

Terms of reference

To consider the expenditure provision made for Post 16, Further and Higher Education in the Welsh Assembly Government’s 2010-11 budget having regard to the current economic circumstances and the changes made in other Welsh Assembly Government budgets in the Government’s 2010-11 budget.

The Committee is also particularly interested in considering how budget provision may impact upon specific programmes or courses, and it would be helpful if examples of case studies of potentially affected schemes could be provided.
