“…(2006,49) Articulation links are more likely to exist between further education and 'post 92' universities (Maclennan et al 2000;Osborne et al 2000). Such links promote the transition and articulation into HE of students with non-traditional qualifications or students from areas of social or economic deprivation, those groups currently identified as under-represented (Fryer 1997;Roberts 2011).…”

In 2010, reflecting the strategic institutional imperative of widening participation and enhancing transition to health programmes, a Scottish nursing community of practice (CoP), was formed to bring together academics from further and higher education, initially for a period of six months. The community was funded by the Greater Glasgow Articulation Partnership (GGAP) and underpinned by Wenger's (1988) Community of Practice (CoP) model. The CoP focused on exploration of current practice, particularly transition, articulation and the first-year experience in tertiary education.

“…Thus, Tipple argues in favour of local authorities having considerable decision-making power. Osborne et al (2000) examined the links between further education and higher education (i.e. the post-compulsory education sector) at the time when the power to determine Scottish educational policy was being devolved to the new Scottish Parliament.…”

“…The 1992 Act provided for the establishment of a 'Board of Management' for each college as a body corporate: hence colleges are frequently referred to as independent corporate bodies or institutions (Audit Scotland, 2001;Osborne et al, 2000;Patterson, 1999). It is perhaps a little misleading to describe Scottish further education colleges as independent.…”

This article will consider the funding of the further education sector in Scotland. In order to connect the themes of this article with the author's experience of teaching in further education it begins with a personal perspective. It then goes on to take a brief look at funding policies since incorporation, consider whether present levels of funding are adequate and whether the colleges are truly independent. Attention will be drawn to the serious financial difficulties to be found in the sector; this despite significant growth and greater overall levels of funding. It will be argued that this is a consequence of reduced funding per unit of student activity. An attempt will be made to show that the financial status of colleges is more the result of Government policy and funding than shortcomings in college management. Finally, it will ask whether there is enough research into FE and wonder whether there is unintentional discrimination against FE.
