The Financing of School-Based Education: Changing the Additional Educational Needs Allowance.

West, Anne; And Others

Education Economics, v3 n3 p265-75 Dec 1995

Recently, monies allocated to the additional educational needs (AEN) component of (Britain's) standard spending assessment (SSA) have decreased markedly. The strategy for determining the AEN weighting (to aid socially deprived and ethnic-minority students) is undermined by central-government spending constraints. Weighting should be determined by actual need, using school-based data. (17 references) (MLH)
