Stirrups36 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 if only... I thought it was too good to be true - £58 million a year, doubling the current allocation. so, a few days later Nick Gibb confirmed in Parliament that there is no extra money for MDS, it just stays the same - here's his written answer. The press release was wrong and that money isn't 'additional'. But hey, £29 million, £58 million, £350 million, who's counting??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miracle Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Interesting article Stirrup. Does that mean regarding Dada that it covers up to 2018 to those in the system eg current 2nd years who are due to finish July 2018? Or other new students starting Sep 2017 and Sep 2018 for the full 3 years of their course.x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shygirlsmum Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Just read the above and am a little confused ! (Doesn't take much). So govt announced extra 29m but is Stirrups36 saying it is not actually extra just the original budget ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
