	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/04/2019 answer text <p>The Education and Skills Funding Agency does not require levy-paying employers to register an industry sector when registering an apprenticeship service account and is therefore unable to supply the information on apprenticeships spending in schools.</p><p>The 6,300 figure represents our best estimate of the number of apprenticeship starts in schools during the first year of the public sector apprenticeship target. It is not possible to provide robust breakdowns of the numbers of starts on individual apprenticeship standards. We know from talking to schools that they use a range of standards and frameworks such as Teacher, Teaching Assistant, Supporting teaching and learning in schools, Supporting teaching and learning in physical education and school sport, Children’s care learning and development, Business Administration, Business Administrator and Senior Leader, among others.</p><p>The department regularly publishes figures for apprenticeship starts broken down by sector subject area and by framework or standard.

Many of these apprenticeship starts will be funded by the apprenticeship levy directly or via local government.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/11/2018 answer text <p>The government plans to invest nearly £7 billion during the 2018/19 academic year, to ensure there is a place in education or training for every 16 to 19 year old who wants one. This is made up of £5.7 billion as set out in the 2018/19 published 16 to 19 allocations (available at the following link: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/16-to-19-allocation-data-2018-to-2019-academic-year" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/16-to-19-allocation-data-2018-to-2019-academic-year</a>.) along with our estimates of: additional high needs funding from the Dedicated Schools Grant that will be invested by local authorities in young people with complex special educational needs or disabilities (whose support costs more than schools and colleges can meet from their annual budget); and investment in apprenticeships for 16 to 18 year olds.</p><p>By 2020, funding in adult skills participation will have increased through maintaining the Adult Education Budget at £1.5 billion per annum, by investing nearly £2.5 billion in apprenticeships per year, double what was spent in 2010, and by extending the reach of Advanced Learner loans so that funding has been available to meet demand. In addition, the total amount of investment in skills through the European Social Fund (ESF) is between £250 and £300 million per annum. Plans are being made to determine what provision should be delivered as a replacement for ESF.</p> answering member constituency Guildford answering member printed Anne Milton question first answered 20/11/2018 10:18:39 answering member 1523 label Biography information for Anne Milton
