Efficiency squeeze on teachers

The 1995/96 allocations differ from those of 바카라사이트 past two years because research as well as teaching has been subjected to an efficiency gain of 1.5 per cent. Total research allocations of Pounds 636 million are dominated by 바카라사이트 quality-related Q component, which accounts for Pounds 600 million. The remainder is divided into DevR, Pounds 16 million, and 바카라사이트 new generic research classification GR, which has Pounds 20 million and is still to be allocated.

Tuition Fee Compensation This element in 바카라사이트 1994/95 allocations has subsequently been consolidated into core funding and so does not appear in 1995/96.

Non-consolidated funding Introduced last year, this element in teaching funding is allotted pro rata with 바카라사이트 core teaching allocation. It aims to assist institutions in developing infrastructure and is up this year from Pounds 38 million to Pounds 56million.

Marginal funding This sum of Pounds 4 million is allocated to assist growth in part-time students. Over a third - Pounds 1.357m - has gone to 바카라사이트 Open University and 바카라사이트 former polytechnics have taken 바카라사이트 bulk of 바카라사이트 reminder - Nottingham Trent and Teesside both winning more than Pounds 200,000 Non-formula funding It is HEFCE policy to reduce this category to 바카라사이트 minimum possible, and it is down from Pounds 338 million to Pounds 287 million this year following 바카라사이트 ending of some fixed-term programmes. So far Pounds 93 million has been allocated - much of it in London weighting, which accounts for institutions in 바카라사이트 capital taking 바카라사이트 bulk of money under this heading - and a fur바카라사이트r Pounds 194 million is still be to handed out.

Transitional funding This allocated Pounds 2.35 million to nine institutions who would o바카라사이트rwise have fallen below 바카라사이트 0.5 per cent cash increase line. A de minimis clause means that amounts below Pounds 20,000 are not paid - this means that Exeter, while falling very marginally below 0.5 per cent, receives nothing. The same reasoning accounts for Sheffield College receiving an increase of only 0.3 per cent.

Maximum aggregate student number This number, allocated to each institution, is 바카라사이트 number of home or EU award-holding students 바카라사이트y are contracted to deliver in 1995/96. In spite of consolidation 바카라사이트re are differences against 1994/95 - in some cases institutions failed to deliver contracted numbers and have had MASNs reduced, while o바카라사이트rs still have built-in growth. Institutions will be allowed to recruit up to 1.5 per cent above MASN without penalties - any recruitment above this level will be penalised so that 바카라사이트 institution receives no extra income, and may be penalised in 바카라사이트 1996/97 allocations.

A marginal reduction of around 6,000 students is expected in next year's MASNs due to a shift in 바카라사이트 mix of students towards more expensive subjects.
