Regulation 6 Apportionment of expenditure
The expenditure taken into account in pursuance of paragraph (1) or (2) of Regulation 5 shall be so apportioned among authorities that each authority’s share—
of the aggregate of such expenditure as is specified in Regulations 3(2) and 3(3)(a) to (e) bears the same proportion thereto as the number of students belonging to the area of that authority attending a course to which this Regulation applies (counted in accordance with paragraph (3) below) bears to the total number of students (so counted) belonging to the area of an authority attending such a course in Wales;
of the aggregate of such expenditure as is specified in Regulation 3(3)(f) bears the same proportion thereto as the school population of the authority (ascertained in accordance with paragraph (4) below) bears to the aggregate school population of all authorities.
This Regulation applies to any course specified in paragraph 1 of the Schedule to these Regulations provided at an establishment of further education maintained or assisted by an authority.
For the purpose of counting under paragraph (1)(a) above the number of students belonging to the area of an authority attending a course to which this Regulation applies—
those attending a full-time course shall each be counted as 1, those attending a sandwich course shall each be counted as 0.9, those attending a part-time course wholly or partly by day shall each be counted as 0.4 and those attending a course wholly in the evening shall each be counted as 0.2;
those attending a course of less than 19 weeks duration shall not be counted;
a student shall be counted as belonging to the area of an authority if he would fall to be treated as belonging to that area for the purposes of section 51 of the Education (No. 2) Act 1986f1.
The school population of an authority shall be treated as the aggregate of the numbers of children who have attained the age of five years and are—
pupils belonging to the area of the authority who are registered pupils at schools maintained or assisted by any local education authority in England and Wales or who receive education otherwise than at school in accordance with arrangements made by the authority;
pupils not belonging to the area of any local education authority in England or Wales who are registered pupils at schools maintained or assisted by the authority; and
pupils at other schools the fees for whose tuition are paid in full by the authority.
The data necessary for making any apportionment under this Regulation in respect of expenditure incurred or estimated as likely to be incurred in any financial year shall, for each authority, be the latest available to the Secretary of State on the 30th November preceding that financial year.
