I spoke to Richard Puttock at HEFCE recently and he has been dealing
with a lot of issues and problems to do with Island students and the
HEFCE new price groups. He said he didn't think there would be much
progress on transferring funding to HEFCE and that we could expect
things to stay the way they were for some time to come.

*
* Islands students are Home for fees purposes. They are not funded by
the
* Funding Council, however, and the undergraduates (or their LEA -
either
* Jersey, Guernsey or Isle of Man) pay a special Home fees rate
negotiated by
* the DfEE and the Islands Governments. This year the special rate was
based
* on the Funding Council's new teaching cost groups. There was a
proposal to
* bring the Islands undergraduates into the normal funding mechanism
(normal
* Home fee, plus Funding Council support) for 1999/2000, but I don't
know
* what has happened to the idea. Has anybody out there heard?
*
* The special fees rate covers Islands undergraduates only. At UEA we
extend
* it to Islands postgraduates, most of whom are also funded by their
LEA.
