Aimhigher Funding Secured Until 2011

Bill Rammell (Minister of State for Lifelong Learning, Further and Higher Education, Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills) last night confirmed that Aimhigher funding has been secured until 2011.

Speaking at an event at Anglia Ruskin University, he said:
“I'm delighted to announce tonight that, as part of the Comprehensive Spending Review 2007 outcomes, the Aimhigher Programme will continue to 2011. Although I am not able to confirm the funding levels now, I am sure the news of the programme's continuation will be welcomed. As might be expected, though, in extending the programme's funding for a further three years, we will want to be sure that its structures, delivery mechanisms and activities offer the most efficient and effective way forward.”
