| 2 | The Government have met much of the anxiety of Opposition Members through the provision for a possible further education funding council to be established at a later date . |
| 3 | This major administrative reorganization threw into sharp focus the acute difficulties surrounding the management and financing of Advanced Further Education as a whole , not least the role of the local education authorities in the government of polytechnics and other colleges . |
| 4 | As a result , a working group was set up in 1977 under the Chairmanship of Mr Gordon Oakes , the then Minister of State at the DES , to consider the management and financing of advanced further education . |

| 10 | In other words , it would have to decide how much money should be spent by local authorities on advanced further education and how it should be divided between individual polytechnics and colleges . |
| 11 | First , instead of the size of the pool being determined solely by the demands made upon it by the local authorities , the global sum to be spent on advanced further education would be determined by the AFEC in consultation with the DES after it received estimates of expenditure from the local authorities in respect of the provision of higher education within their boundaries , on the grounds that the local authority would behave more responsibly if it paid a proportion of the cost rather than reclaiming all of it from the pool . |
