Teachers, Unions and opposition parties repeatedly warned the Education Minister that the scheme was under-funded.

Welsh Conservative AMs have received correspondence from head teachers right across Wales stating their extreme concern about introducing the scheme in September.

Time to close HE Funding Gap |
WELSH Conservatives will warn in tomorrow’s debate that the funding gap between higher education in Wales and England is having a direct impact on the number of students wanting to study in Wales.
The number of applications to Welsh universities fell last year, as the funding gap grew by 53%, and application numbers fell for the coming academic term.
It is predicted to rise again in 2006/07 to an estimated £70mn.
