Direct teaching of English operations 16.12 The DTE business will contribute a 'dividend' of £0.51 million per annum to central funds from 1991/92, rising to £1.53 million from 1993/94.
Examinations
16.13 CP2 forecast a further £0.1 million per annum increase in surplus revenue from the administration of English language examinations by 1991/92. More recent projections are that net surpluses will decline even though turnover is increasing. This target is withdrawn until a new business plan has been agreed later in 1990.
Courses
16.14 The revised business plan for courses and summer schools indicates that the range and
number of courses cannot be expanded without increasing the net cost to the Council of this activity. The revised strategy, described in paragraph 9.6 (page 31), will deliver the £0.1 million per annum savings required by 1992/93.
Client-Funded Training
16.15 The target is to reduce the global subsidy paid to CFT from the grant while maintaining numbers coming to Britain. Under its revised business plan, CFT will reduce costs by £0.18 million per annum from 1993/94 and deliver the rest of its £0.35 million per annum reduction in net expenditure by 1994/95.
