CARL SARGEANT AM WELCOMES FE FUNDING BOOST
Carl Sargeant, AM for Alyn and Deeside, has today welcomed an extra £1,065,974 for Further Education Institutions (FEIs) and sixth forms in north Wales.
The investment will increase the number of spaces available for students at a time when more youngsters and adults are looking for training places.
This is another example of the Welsh Assembly Government leading Wales out of the current economic recession.
All relevant institutions will be funded at above or the same as the previous financial year – despite a difficult financial budget settlement.
Mr Sargeant said: “This investment once again shows that we are delivering results for those eager to learn or re-train. Investing in learning for young people and adults is a top priority for the Assembly Government.
“There is no doubt that FE institutions across Wales are developing a highly-skilled workforce and this funding will ensure it will continue to grow.
"I am pleased to see that the Welsh Assembly Government has been listening to the sector.
“Investing in learning for young people and adults is a top priority for Welsh Labour. When there is an economic upturn, those who have participated in the post-16 sector will be ready to deliver and meet the fresh demands of the Welsh economy.”
