QUANGOS IN TROUBLE

Where the cuts are likely to fall in education

In an effort to cut hundreds of millions of pounds from the budget deficit, the new British coalition-led government has prepared cuts to the education budget.

The chief secretary to the Treasury, David Laws, will announce £6bn of cuts – from education and elsewhere – in an attempt to dent Britain's £163bn fiscal deficit.

In education, quangos predicted to be effected include:

• The Qualifications and Curriculum Development Agency: designs the national school curriculum, which has an annual budget of £128m.

• Becta: promotes the use of technology in schools, which has an annual budget of £65m.

Governmental agencies thought to be selected for heavy cuts include:

• The Training and Development Agency for Schools (TDA): trains teachers and ensures schools are delivering government policy. Last year its budget was £743m.

• The Young People's Learning Agency: funds education and training for 16 to 19-year-olds.
  

• The School Food Trust: tries to improve the standard of school dinners to comply with, and exceed, nutritional standards.

• The Children's Commissioner: aims to champion the voices of children and young people in their local areas.

Budget Cuts

This upcoming Monday GB will be seeing millions cut from Quangos in education in order to relieve the system of its large budget deficit. This action has caused a storm of controversy concerning the Quangos' role. Some politicians have stated that a governmental department doing the same job as a Quango would be more expensive. Other politicians complain about an unnecessarily large number of quangos in a certain niche, and cuts would benefit any inefficiency.
