Prior to the announcement of the ONS review, the government had already launched the Review of Post-18 Education and Funding in which, amongst other features of the system, funding is being considered.</p><p> </p><p>The review is considering how to ensure that the education system for those aged 18 years and over is accessible to all, is supported by a funding system that provides value for money and works for students and taxpayers. In addition, the review is considering how the education system incentivises choice and competition across the sector and encourages the development of the skills that we need as a country.</p> answering member constituency Kingswood answering member printed Chris Skidmore question first answered 07/01/2019 15:17:34 answering member 4021 label Biography information for Chris Skidmore
