The chief executive of the Higher Education Funding Council for England (Hefce) explains the organisation's strategy for dealing with the maintenance of courses in minority subjects and in subjects identified as strategically important, such as modern languages. It is noted that Hefce already provides funding for many minority subjects and will take steps to ensure that at least one national centre will remain for all subjects in which it is deemed that national capacity is vital, however, it is acknowledged that Hefce will not be able to please everybody and it is also noted that the organisation has received no additional money to tackle the issues facing it.
