	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/12/2017 answer text <p>The government funds a wide range of Further Education colleges and private training providers across the North East. In addition, the National Apprenticeship Service works with a wide range of public and private sector employers in the region to promote apprenticeships to individuals of all ages.</p><p> </p><p>In 2016/17 there were 9,080 adults participating in Further Education in Sunderland and 208,520 in the North East.</p><p> </p><p>A number of financial support programmes are available to 16-19 year olds to help with the costs associated with post-16 education. These are: the 16-19 Bursary Fund (which is commonly used to cover the costs of transport, educational trips, and course equipment), Care to Learn (which provides childcare funding and related travel costs for young parents aged under 20) and support with accommodation costs for students aged 16 to 19 via the Residential Bursary Fund and the Residential Student Support. All programmes are subject to eligibilities, but are designed to ensure 16-19 year olds are able to participate regardless of their financial situation.</p><p> </p><p>To support access for adults from disadvantaged groups in the North East and across England, the Adult Education Budget funds colleges and providers to help adult learners to overcome barriers which prevent them from taking part in learning. This includes Learner Support to help learners with a specific financial hardship and to meet the additional needs of students with learning difficulties and/or disabilities.</p><p> </p><p>Data published by the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service shows that the 18-year-old entry rate to full-time Higher Education (HE) for the North East of England has increased proportionally by 34 per cent this year, compared to 2006 and by 24.8% in Houghton and South Sunderland. In our last guidance to the Director of Fair Access we asked that areas with the poorest progression to higher education receive particular attention. This includes through more long-term outreach and collaboration with schools.</p><p> </p><p>HE Institutions expect to spend more than £860 million on measures to improve access and student success for those from disadvantaged backgrounds through access agreements with the Director of Fair Access for 2018/19. The Higher Education Funding Council for England has put in place ‘The National Collaborative Outreach Programme’ which provides £120 million to 29 consortia undertaking outreach activity in geographical areas where the higher education participation of young people is both low and much lower than expected based on GCSE-level attainment. The North East Collaborative Outreach Programme, covering North East England is one of the consortia being funded.</p> answering member constituency Guildford answering member printed Anne Milton question first answered 14/12/2017 17:46:49 answering member 1523 label Biography information for Anne Milton
