UPGC Recommendations for Grants for Recurrent Expenditure 1974-1976
7
The Committee has submitted formal recommendations for grants for recurrent and capital expenditure for the first of these two year periods 1st August 1974 to 31st July 1976. (Annex B). These proposals were based upon projected student targets for the expansion of the Polytechnic from 2, 700 full time equivalent students in September 1973 to 4, 910 by September 1975 thereafter rising annually at the beginning of each academic year to reach 8, 300 by September 1978. These recommendations were broadly in line with the target provisionally agreed in 1972 for planning purposes (paragraph 5 above). The full time equivalent student enrolments advocated in the Committee's recommendations are set out in 4 of Annex B.

Because of senior staff shortages, the UPGC was unable to obtain firm proposals for some of the courses. In the circumstances, it divided the Polytechnic's recurrent expenditure proposals for 1974-1976 into three main parts:
(a)
courses where expansion seemed assured,
(b)
courses where expansion appeared feasible, but less than certain until appropriate teaching staff are in post, and
(c)
new developments, some of which would be of considerable importance but which are not as yet sufficiently clearly defined in the Committee's view.

After allowing for estimated net income, the Folytechnic originally sought grants amounting to $69, 6million for the academic year 1974/75, and $87. 1million for 1975/76. But in the course of the UPGC examination of the Polytechnic draft proposals the Committee pruned the proposals to a recommended $60, 35million for 1974/75, and $74.85million for 1975/76, including expenditure involved in the Polytechnic's participation in the Joint Universities Computer Centre, a course strongly recommended by the UPGC.
