to focus on teaching.</p><p> </p><p>We are also investing £84 million of new funding
over the next five years to deliver a comprehensive programme to improve the teaching
of computing and drive up participation in computer science, particularly amongst
girls.</p><p> </p><p>At the last budget, we announced a £30 million National Retraining
Scheme fund to deliver digital skills training using edtech and artificial intelligence
so that students and trainees can benefit from this emerging technology, wherever
they are in the country.</p>
