Budgets and funding

this is a personal view only but i think that this year and next year will be fine for funding across the education sector.

Yes, there are some problems with new college buildings, BSF in schools is a tricky one to manage especially when it comes to ICT, but I don't think that schools and colleges need worry too much about losing money from teaching students or having un funded courses.

Education budgets are set in advance and I think it will be April 2011 before we see any changes to the commitments made.  This will be the first chance a potential new government has of changing things.  

At that point, there must a general tightening of budgets and i don't think education will escape this at all.
