This month colleges of further education will have new governing bodies under the provisions of the Education Reform Act. Their composition and their size, combined with the effects of local financial management, may change the range and quality of courses for students with special educational needs. Derek Betts, education secretary, National Association of Teachers in Further and Higher Education, describes and comments on the changes taking place.
