	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/07/2019 answer text <p>It is not a condition for universities to become involved in academy sponsorship or the founding of free schools in order for them to charge maximum tuition fees.</p><p>All higher education (HE) providers in England that register with the Office for Students (OfS) and want to charge more than the basic annual amount for tuition must have an Access and Participation Plan approved by the OfS. Through these plans, providers set out what activities they intend to take to ensure students from disadvantaged backgrounds or under-represented groups can access, participate, succeed and progress from HE.</p><p>The Schools that Work for Everyone consultation asked how we could best harness the resources and expertise of those in the HE sector to widen access to these institutions for disadvantaged pupils, and to work in partnership to lift attainment across the wider school system. We know that many institutions are already delivering activities to support these objectives and are working closely and effectively with state school partners, but we want to see this good practice adopted more widely and see a greater ambition for what can be achieved through such partnership working.</p> answering member constituency Orpington answering member printed Joseph Johnson question first answered 26/07/2019 13:20:50 answering member 4039 label Biography information for Lord Johnson of Marylebone previous answer version 131227 answering member constituency Orpington answering member printed Joseph Johnson answering member 4039 label Biography information for Lord Johnson of Marylebone

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/12/2017 answer text <p>The government has frozen tuition fees for academic year 2018/19 and for financial year 2018-19 has raised both the repayment threshold and the thresholds at which variable interest rates apply to borrowers in repayment.</p><p> </p><p>The repayment threshold will rise from £21,000 to £25,000 for the 2018-19 financial year (from 6 April 2018). Following the threshold change, interest will be charged at RPI for those earning below £25,000 (compared to £21,000 before) and at RPI+3% for those earning above £45,000 (compared to £41,000 before), with interest applied on sliding scale for those earning between those two thresholds.</p><p> </p><p>The estimated impairment of student loans (RAB charge) is included in the Department for Education (DfE’s) accounts as non-cash ring-fenced Resource Departmental Expenditure Limit. Following the recent change to the repayment threshold for post-2012 loans, these estimates will increase due to the change in the RAB charge for higher education loans from around 30% to between 40% and 45%. We do not expect this change to have any impact on the rest of DfE’s budget. Future budgets will be set as part of the annual Estimates process and confirmed in the published Estimates documents.</p><p> </p><p>The cost of the system is a conscious investment in young people. It is the policy subsidy required to make higher and further education widely available, achieving the government’s objectives of increasing the skills in the economy and ensuring access to university for all with the potential to benefit.</p> answering member constituency Orpington answering member printed Joseph Johnson question first answered 06/12/2017 16:51:08 answering member 4039 label Biography information for Lord Johnson of Marylebone
