Further education colleges are faced with a big task; improving outcomes for students despite reduced budgets and against a backdrop of economic uncertainty. When every penny counts, how can colleges identify where savings can be made without affecting the quality of provision?
With this in mind, some of the key questions colleges must ask themselves are:
• How can we reconcile delivering a quality provision with financial viability?
• Where can we cut costs without impacting on our course offering?
• Are we achieving maximum value for money from all our existing resources?
This just-launched white paper from Capita seeks to address these questions and more, looking at how technology can help in ensuring unnecessary costs are avoided while achieving maximum value for money from existing resources.
"In assessing 18 colleges, we’ve found potential savings in excess of
£21 million. In one college the savings were as high as £3.5 million and
most averaged around £750,000."
