AoC CPD session for staff
College funding
Julian Gravatt, AoC Assistant Chief Executive
21 April 2015
@julian_gravatt
What you need to know
Three areas
1. Where colleges get the money from government
2. Key issues, main trends, what might happen next
3. How AoC makes a difference
What you learnt last time
From CPD session in 2012
Colleges get funding to keep education and training free or low cost
We’ve had national funding formulae for 22 years
Governments use funding to influence behaviour(eg right students taking the right courses at lowest cost)
It’s all about people. Who students are and what they do affects income
Vast data collection system makes it work

Purpose of financial health assessmentJudgement by the regulator (EFA/SFA) on strength/vulnerabilityUsed to determine which colleges need external interventionSometimes used to assess % capital grantUse to restrict access to apprenticeships, traineeships, 14-16 etc20 year old system, last updated in 2008
IssuesColleges with no borrowing can’t always get an overdraftDeteriorating financial results since 2012Wide range between different colleges

Scoring for 2013-14 from financial plans (FE colleges only
How colleges will improve their finances
Some or all of the following:
1. Better government policy (funding properly matching the task)
2. Cost reduction (to bring budgets back into balance)
3. Property sales to release cash (only open to some colleges)
4. Relentless focus on student/employer demand and need
5. Outsmarting the competition
6. Strong, positive, realistic leadership

Alison Wolf on college funding
“The current funding regime for 16-19 year olds (and indeed post-19) is unique to this country in tying funding overwhelmingly to qualifications rather than to the individuals who take them. The system is completely opaque to the vast majority of the people working within the system, let along to the public at large. It imposes very large administrative costs on institutions and, as basic economic and management theory tells us, opaque systems are intrinsically inefficient and subject to extensive gaming.
There are a number of good (and some less good) reasons why the system has evolved as it has….It is hard to believe that we alone need to maintain a system of such complexity that senior college staff need to attend annual fee-bearing courses so that they can understand – partially – how they are being funded and how they can game the system” (Wolf review, 2011, page 120)

Devolution
Funding update – where are we right now?
EFA (16-18 education)Little change but English and Maths are major issuesAverage funding down by c3% (because student numbers down)
ApprenticeshipsBudget ring-fenced but major reform programme underway
SFA (19+ further education)24% cut in “other Adult Skills Budget”, slightly moderatedSignificant impact in London because of position of colleges
Loan supported education24+ advanced learning loans - money available to growNo student number controls in higher education
What policies are on offer?
Education (“schools”)Various promises on the DFE budgetCurriculum changes in next few yearsMaths/English to 18, Tech Bacc (Lab)500 more free schools (Cons)RSCs –vs- Directors of school standards
Higher education (“universities”)Labour promise a fee reduction to £6,000
Skills (“apprenticeships”)Conservatives: 3 million apprentices. Labour: a guarantee at 18
Devolution Conservatives: more devolution. Labour: an English Devolution Act
Government financesDeficit to be closed this decade… via tax income .. plus spending cutsOffsetting extra spending on… pensions, debt interest (AME)….NHS (protected DEL)
Politics & events have an influence
Depending on who gets in..Unprotected DEL cuts after 2015

Funding changes after the election
Area My best guess
16-18 funding Continuing slices from the budget
SFA funding More cuts , apprentices & talk about devolution
Apprenticeships
300 new qualifications, work on vouchers
FE loans FE loan extension but possibly not until 2017
HE Depends on the election. £6k fees under Labour
Capital LEP skills capital, possibly a re-capitalisation fund
What next?
Summer 2015Election result (8 May 2015)Formation of new governmentParliament returns (18 May 2015)Queens speech (27 May 2015)Budget (June/July 2015)First legislation (eg a Labour bill on £6,000 fees)
Autumn 2015HE recruitment with no student number controlsSpending review (by early December 2015 at the latest)Ministerial decisions on big issuesChanges in agencies? Ofsted? FE commissioner?College responses to the new climate/new funding
AoC approach to funding & finance
Representing and promoting collegesAoC will get best deal by talking about what colleges do & could doMoney will follow if the public & policy-makers are inspiredEvidence-based arguments linked to national objectivesPapers, blogs, articles (http://www.aoc.co.uk/term/funding-finance)
Services to membersAim for marginal gains (eg capital, mitigation, rule-changes etc)Funding briefing every 2 weeks1-to-1 adviceSupport for College Finance Directors Group (CFDG)Funding issues part of Policy, Regions, Comms etc work
What it’s useful to remember
Financial£7 billion incomeDown c5% in 2015-16FE college £27 mil income (average)Sixth form college £9 mil College share of main funding streams varies
The futurePublic spending squeezed for a generationColleges are resilient and part of the solutionYoung people, employers, future workforce all 16-18s, Apprenticeships and Loans (for fees) are all in the mixAoC active in all main areas to maximise opportunities
