Extra pressure in the current year has been caused by a rise in the number of students in 2009/10 and 2010/11. At the same time there was an increase in the number of students eligible for means-tested grants. (http://wales.gov.uk/newsroom/educationandskills/2010/101209tuition/?lang=en)
For the Britain, the government send this information to every student in the world. I think this is very happy things for student in every country. Britain has to allocate the money to support education, I think to study in the school's children to say, it is a very encouraging things.
For students, this information could attract more overseas students come to study. On the other hand, this things also improve the UK pay a attention to the education.
I am delighted that this extra money is being allocated to help ease the strain on student finances. As the Assembly Government tries to protect education spending following the worst financial settlement since the advent of devolution this funding increase recognises the increase in student numbers this year.
