		Of course if the Disability Discrimination Act was extended to education in the same way as it covers access to goods and services, the rights of disabled people would be far from absolute and universities and colleges of Higher Education would only have been obliged to make "reasonable" arrangements and modifications to their institutions.

	Further education for people with learning difficulties
		The Further and Higher Education Act (1992) (the FHE Act) introduced great changes to the way in which continuing education was delivered in colleges and local education authorities across England and Wales.
		Two Further Education Funding Councils were set up, one each in England and Wales, to fund college provision and to monitor the quality of the provision.
		The importance of education for adults with learning difficulties is recognised in the FHE Act and consequently has attracted resources from the two Further Education Funding Councils for Schedule 2 work in colleges and Local Education Authorities.

		The Further and Higher Education Act (1992) placed funding on a more secure footing, encouraged more integrated provision, financed more support services, and increased the learning opportunities for people with moderate learning disabilities.
		Bringing together further education, adult education and training within a single body - the proposed National Learning and Skills Council - should benefit people with learning disabilities, particularly in terms of their progression from one area of learning to another and linking education with training and employment.
		The extension of the Disability Discrimination Act to cover educational provision is a further positive move, as colleges will be required to demonstrate that they have made "reasonable adjustments" to accommodate people with disabilities.

	Managing tutorial provision in further education
		Writers such as Alexiadou (2001) have pointed to the development of a 'quasi-market' within Further Education whose characteristics are 'defined by the nature of the competition instigated by the funding formula, and the central control of the created competing units through the use of both funding and incentive-based performance targets' (Alexiadou, op cit, p 415).
		The new funding regime tore up this secure existence...It is in the area of funding that the 1992 Act has had its greatest impact, so that it is not an exaggeration to say that changes in the management, the organisation and the student experience of further education have been driven by the changes in funding.
		The relationship between tutor and student within a Further Education context illustrates the issues raised here well, in that the tutor is not necessarily the sole, or even the major, arbiter of the decisions taken during this relationship.

		The Welsh Assembly has defended its higher education policies, saying it was committed to bi-lingualism.
		Dr Jones said: "Very few seem prepared to recognise how damaging the failure of the higher education sector to take the Welsh language seriously is for the future of Welsh as a living and viable language.
		Dr Jones urged education minister Jane Davidson to study the research assessment on Welsh universities "very carefully, because understanding it also means understanding why their policies on higher education are more or less a total failure.

	JCEPS: Journal for Critical Education Policy Studies
		FE funding bodies (the LSCs and before them the Further Education Funding Council (FEFC) and the Training and Enterprise Councils (TECs)) have historically distributed funds in order to facilitate the reorganisation of colleges so that they better serve the needs of local industry (see for example Department of Employment and Learning Northern Ireland(2001)).
		While this may facilitate a flexible realignment of educational provision to the needs of local economies, it is also a strategic instrument for Principals to shape staffing profiles, to promote those with "preferred" values (Avis 2002, p346) and to implement "cultural change" (Jephcote 1996).
		While educational processes are reduced to outcomes, a new and manipulative relationship between technical knowledge and teachers/managers is cultivated.
