FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Maggie Galliers, the new president of the Association of Colleges (AoC), has said that funding cuts and rising costs have forced people from the poorest families to prioritize their spending in tough economic times and refrain from continuing their studies.
“Clearly everyone in these economic times is struggling, and there’s some families for whom they have to prioritise their spending. My greatest concern is that it is those from the most disadvantaged backgrounds”, said Galliers.
The British government scrapped the education maintenance allowance (EMA), which was funding given to the poorest students to help them stay in education, last year. Instead, it has put a new system in place which authorizes schools and colleges to decide on who should be given financial support.
Galliers asserted education funding would have to stretch further saying it could not be predicted how cuts to financial support for students like the EMA would have an impact in the future.
Meanwhile, a Department of Education spokesperson defended the funding cuts saying the EMA “was wasteful and poorly targeted”.
