EDUCATION FUNDING STRATEGY GROUP

Welcome to the Home Page for the Education Funding Strategy Group. The EFSG was a joint group of representatives from central and local government, the unions representing teaching and support staff, schools and governors' organisations and the churches.

The Group was responsible for overseeing the development of a new school and LEA funding system based on greater transparency, in line with the Government's proposals set out in the Local Government Green Paper, "Modernising Local Government Finance" published in September 2000.

The purpose of this site is to give you access to the papers and deliberations of the group and the explanatory material covering the new funding system.
