Looking at how students can access funding for HE courses - Susanne

Topic: Looking at how students can access funding for HE courses – title not given
Focus: Going to look at how to access HE funding for students and smaller organisations. A majority of her students have leave to remain. Presently, they are funded by Train to Gain, Suzanne works for a small organisation with a limit to the amount of information it can get. After the government changed the rules for ESOL funding, funding was harder for learners to obtain. If they are British citizens or home students, here for over 3 years, they will be eligible for funding but will have to pay for some of the course, some learners ineligible. Wants to look at how learners can access funding if they are not resident. Suzanne wants to look at employer involvement, if they want their staff trained perhaps they should pay for it.
Triangulation: Questionnaire for the students/interviewing smaller organisations/government documents from the internet.
Peer input/questions: Asked why isn’t the provision there? What is happening in other countries? It was also suggested that a kind of information pack could be provided for the learners about how to access funding.
