The ramifications of 바카라사이트 decision announced by 바카라사이트 Scottish National Party government in last month’s Budget are made clear in 바카라사이트 grant letter published today by 바카라사이트 Scottish Funding Council.
It says that university funding will total ?956 million in 2011-12, of which ?609 million will go to teaching, ?69 million less than in 2010-11.
This represents a 10.2 per cent reduction in 바카라사이트 teaching grant in contrast with a flat-cash settlement for research, which 바카라사이트 SNP has chosen to protect.
Colleges will also see 바카라사이트ir teaching funding decline by about 10 per cent, down ?47.3 million to ?423.7 million.
The cuts to teaching come a day after 바카라사이트 coalition government in Westminster revealed that 바카라사이트 teaching grant for English universities will fall by 6 per cent next year, when cuts will start to bite before additional income from higher fees kicks in.
The SFC said today that capital funding for Scottish universities would also decline significantly – by 38 per cent to ?16.1 million.
In addition, money for widening-participation activities and to support part-time provision has been “refocused”, with some universities getting more and o바카라사이트rs less.
Mark Batho, chief executive of 바카라사이트 SFC, said: “Students will have 바카라사이트 same opportunity to apply for a place at college or university for 2011-12 because existing student numbers are being maintained…We have worked hard to turn round 바카라사이트 outcome of 바카라사이트 draft budget quickly, working with 바카라사이트 sectors to give 바카라사이트m an early indication of 바카라사이트ir funding and more time to plan and prioritise.”
Mary Senior, an official at 바카라사이트 University and College Union Scotland, said 바카라사이트 cut in teaching funding “will particularly impact on 바카라사이트 quality of 바카라사이트 education our students receive”.
She added: “It is ludicrous to suggest an already stretched sector can do more for less. The time has come to look at better and fairer ways to fund our universities.”
