The Secretary of State has confirmed that any savings made from withdrawing funding for ELQs will be available for HEFCE to redistribute according to agreed priorities yet to be decided. The Government has also stated that 100 million a year of higher education funding will be reprioritised to increase and widen participation, by focusing public funding mainly on students participating in the system for the first time. Final decisions on the distribution of our overall budget will be made once we have received our grant letter from the Secretary of State. Our expectation is that some additional funding will be available for growth.
