Mr. Jenkins: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what initiatives her Department has introduced since 2001 to
support education in rural areas. [213133]
Derek Twigg: The Department for Education and Skills continues to work closely with Defra and the Countryside Agency to support the
delivery of education in rural areas.
Since 2001 guidance for Sure Start Local Programmes has been revised to allow a different approach for rural areas, resulting in the
15 rural Sure Start Local Programmes. Of the 46 mini Sure Start programmes intended to provide services for smaller and more
scattered populations, 29 are in rural areas. As part of the first phase of the development of children's centres, we have given
additional funds to local authorities containing rural wards to develop flexible ways of delivering children's centre services such
as early learning and links to health care services. The Government have been encouraging the development of extended schools.
Funding has been available since 2003-04, initially to the most disadvantaged urban and rural areas, but from 2005-06 all LEAs will
be receiving funding to support the delivery of extended services in all schools over time.
The Broadband Grant includes a `sparsity weighting' to take into account the higher costs of connectivity in rural and hard to reach
areas. All schools will have a broadband connection by 2006. We recognise that local schools are at the heart of many rural
communities. Guidance to School Organisation Committees on the presumption against the closure of rural schools has been
strengthened. We shall be reporting fully on all our activities to the Countryside Agency as part of the annual cycle of rural
proofing reporting by the Government.
