P106 CEEFAX 106 Thu 21 Mar 21:01/56 TERTIARY COLLEGES TO BE REMOVED FROM COUNCILS Education Secretary Kenneth Clarke has announced that further education and sixth-form colleges are to be removed from local authority control. A new college funding council would runthe new sector from April 1993, taking £2bn away from local council control. The new funding council would be accountable directly to him, he added. Labour spokesman Jack Straw said Mr Clarke's plans had "nothing to do with the needs of the education service" - it was the result of the Government's "blind poll tax panic", he said. 101Headlines 102Newswatch Next News Newswatch Headlines Latest
