157 Group
The 157 Group is a group of 28 colleges of further education in England. The group was established in 2006 with an aim of promoting and maintaining high standards of education and management for this type of college. The group whose creation was announced at the 2006 Association of Colleges (AoC) annual conference chaired by the then Secretary of State for Education, Alan Johnson, supports the reduction of costs by obtaining aid from intermediary organisations. Together, the group's member colleges employ more than 30,000 staff and the total enrolment is around 250,000 students. The group maintains the principle that costs can be reduced by dispensing with intermediaries. and states that sixth form colleges with 500 students are more effective and less costly to run than sixth forms with 100 students or less
