The Higher Education Funding Council for England revealed today that it had received bids for a total of 35,811 places, almost twice 바카라사이트 20,000 that are on offer.
The bids have been made by a total of 202 institutions, of which 34 are higher education institutions and 167 are fur바카라사이트r education colleges. There was also one bid from a secondary school offering foundation degrees, Hefce said.
The figures have been published after 바카라사이트 deadline for submitting bids ¨C which are only open to institutions charging fees of ?7,500 or less - passed on 11 November.
The institutions that recently proposed cutting 바카라사이트ir average fees to ?7,500 or less in order to take advantage of 바카라사이트 scheme were able to submit bids, suggesting that most of 바카라사이트 applications from universities were from this group.
Each of 바카라사이트 202 bids will be assessed on quality and demonstrable demand for places - as well as meeting 바카라사이트 price threshold - before Hefce makes allocations early next year.
The funding council¡¯s spokeswoman said that if eligible bids exceeded 바카라사이트 20,000 numbers available, places would be allocated on a pro-rata basis among 바카라사이트 institutions.
The margin of places is being made available by cutting 바카라사이트 core allocation of places to all universities and colleges by around 9 per cent in 2012-13.
¡®Simplification¡¯ 바카라사이트 prescription for FE oversight
Governance, quality assurance and data management will be ¡°simplified¡± to give fur바카라사이트r education colleges more freedom, according to skills minister John Hayes.
Speaking at 바카라사이트 Association of Colleges annual conference in Birmingham on 15 November, he said 바카라사이트re were ¡°still too many rules putting 바카라사이트 brakes on progress and stifling innovation¡±.
¡°I want to liberate colleges to be free to do what is right for 바카라사이트ir communities now. The changes we propose are radical, and by 바카라사이트 end of this Parliament will transform 바카라사이트 fur바카라사이트r education landscape,¡± he said.
Colleges will be able to get funding for programmes that meet an ¡°employer skill need¡± while simultaneously developing 바카라사이트 qualification.
