The Further Education (FE) Sector continues to evolve.
The reclassification of FE colleges as public sector organisations by the Office for National Statistics in November 2022 had a significant impact on college finances. The withdrawal of commercial borrowing and the restriction on selling surplus estate adds additional challenges to an already over-stretched and underfunded sector.
