Students in Birmingham have been advised to study from home more as their cash-strapped local authority axes local transport subsidies to balance its books.
Birmingham City Council’s cabinet will meet next week to agree its budget which includes savings worth £300 million.
Cuts to services targeted at sixth-form-age students risk excluding the most vulnerable students from education, a local principal has said.
Among over 200 proposed savings is a review of its non-statutory transport support for post-16 students.
