Figures across the time period requested are not available on a consistent basis. This is because the method of funding further education (FE) colleges changed when responsibility for the methodology responsibility transferred to the Scottish Further Education Funding Council (SFEFC) from 2000-01.Because of the fundamental role that FE colleges have in encouraging people of all ages and from different backgrounds to participate in post-school learning, a large proportion of the resources available to FE colleges are associated in some way with the promotion of social inclusion. However, the amounts cannot be determined separately.The figures provided in the following table relate to the specific elements that cover the additional costs of social inclusion over and above the standard funding per student place.College | 2000-01 | 2001-02 | 2002-03
