Scottish merger may 'enhance FE status'

Article Abstract:

The Scottish Higher Education Funding Council has just celebrated holding it 100th council meeting but Chris Masters, chairman of the council, hopes that the body will not survive to celebrate its bicentenary and will instead merge with the four-year-old Scottish Further Education Funding Council. The Scottish Executive has promised to merge the two bodies, possibly in 2005, and Masters believes that such a move would encourage lifelong learning and enhance the status of further education.
