THERE is only one word to sum up Education’s approach to GCSE results: deceit.

MEANS-TESTING to determine how much the States pays to support each individual pupil’s college place would be fairer than the Policy Council’s proposed funding system, says Deputy Jan Kuttelwascher.

THE level of States support for every senior pupil at the colleges will be individually means-tested if an amendment is approved.

COLLEGES will try to avoid a hike in fees in the wake of losing almost a quarter of their taxpayer funding, two governors have said.

TO HER credit, Deputy Carol Steere has never been one to shy away from plain speaking and difficult choices.

IN A recent column I gave a rundown of a dozen big issues this States has to address over the next year or so – but I forgot one potentially controversial subject.

EDUCATION minister Carol Steere has defended her views after stating her belief that the £4.5m. subsidy to the island’s colleges could be better spent elsewhere.

ONE of the superficially puzzling aspects of the row about taxpayers’ funding of the colleges is why the Education minister chose to trigger it in the first place.

EDUCATION could save up to £3m. a year if it stopped sending top 11-plus pupils to the three private colleges.

EDUCATION is split over the future of college funding.
