No to FE fees - What can you do?

The government is withdrawing a significant financial contribution to adult education, leaving adults high and dry. At the moment, if you’re aged 24+ and you want to take A levels, or a BTEC, or a level 3 apprenticeship, the Government pays 50 per cent of your course fee. From September 2013, anyone aged 24 and above who wants to study a level 3 qualification will have to pay full fees.
