This report explores the full cost to individuals of participating in further education in England and Wales – the nature and level of cost that individuals incur when they participate and the impact student financial support has on an individual’s learning experience.

Undertaken jointly by the Learning and Skills Network and the National Union of Students, it aims to investigate the extent to which financial hardship still presents a barrier to further education for many students.

This report is the beginning of a discussion that everybody in the sector needs to engage in. It is a discussion about the future of the FE sector and its students.
