Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Nicholas Dakin (Labour). It was answered on Tuesday, 11 December 2018 on behalf of the Treasury.


Further Education Funding

Question

The national funding rate for 16 to 18-year-olds has been frozen for five years. That is beginning to cause significant problems in delivering for this age group. Will the Government do something about it before it is too late?

Answer

What is important is that we are achieving better results for 16 to 18-year-olds. We are seeing more young people from disadvantaged backgrounds going to university and improvements in the quality of apprenticeships that are being taken up by young people. We are also putting extra money into the new T-levels, which are due to improve technical education.
