	tabling member constituency	Dulwich and West Norwood
	tabling member printed	Helen Hayes
	uin	192823
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/11/2018 answer text <p>Local authorities are required to provide schools with sufficient funds of up to £6,000 per pupil, to enable them to meet the additional costs of those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The local authority can also give additional funding from its high needs budget to schools that have a disproportionate number of pupils with SEND, whose additional support costs up to £6,000.</p><p>When the costs of additional support required for a pupil with special educational needs exceed £6,000, the local authority should also allocate additional top-up funding to cover the excess costs. This funding comes from the local authority’s high needs budget. This year, high needs budgets total just under £6 billion across England, a £142 million increase since last year. This is explained in the high needs funding operational guide, available at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/high-needs-funding-arrangements-2018-to-2019" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/high-needs-funding-arrangements-2018-to-2019</a>.</p><p>However, we recognise that there is pressure on schools to do more, which is why we have taken steps to help them get the best value for every pound. We also recognise that local authorities are experiencing cost pressures on high needs and are keeping the overall level of funding for high needs under review.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 22/11/2018 14:15:32 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

	uin	192824
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/11/2018 answer text <p>The Department for Education collects information on local authority spending through the section 251 returns, which for 2018 to 2019 can be found at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/section-251-2018-to-2019" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/guidance/section-251-2018-to-2019</a>.</p><p>The department does not specifically collect information on where local authorities have overspent their high needs budgets. In 2018 to 2019, local authorities are obliged to pass at least 99.5% of their schools’ block funding, within the Dedicated Schools Grant (DSG), on to local schools; and since 2017 to 2018, have been obliged to pass at least 93% (95% in 2018 to 2019) of funding for three and four-year olds to early years providers. Otherwise, local authorities are free to allocate their DSG, and in any one year may build up or draw down DSG reserves.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 22/11/2018 14:17:13 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/12/2018 answer text <p>More than 34,500 new trainee teachers started teacher training (ITT) courses this year – over 2,600 more than in 2017. Of postgraduate new entrants to ITT whose nationality was known, five per cent were European economic area (EEA) nationals. Teachers from the EEA make a valuable contribution to our education system and we are working very closely with the Home Office to ensure that this is taken fully into consideration as we leave the EU and move to a new UK migration framework.</p><p>The Government has always been clear that decisions about the future immigration system should be based on evidence and the Migration Advisory Committee (MAC)’s report on EEA migration in the UK will inform those decisions. The MAC report provides a clear direction for us to develop a single, global immigration system, based on skills rather than nationality. The Department will ensure the future system caters for professionals working in a range of sectors.</p><p> </p><p>The withdrawal agreement, finalised on 25 November, protects the rights of more than three million EU citizens living in the UK and around one million UK nationals living in the EU.</p><p>It will provide EU teachers in the UK with certainty about their rights going forward allowing them to continue living their lives broadly as they do now. During the implementation period, EU teachers will still be able to come to the UK and be able to live, work and study as they do now.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is undertaking extensive preparations in advance of the next phase of negotiations with the EU to put in place appropriate governance structures and to build further capacity and capability, in order to negotiate an ambitious future partnership. The Government will continue to prepare for all scenarios, including the unlikely event that March 2019 is reached without the agreement of a deal.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 03/12/2018 17:56:45 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

Following ratification of the Withdrawal Agreement, UK based organisations and people will be able to bid for funding, participate in and lead consortia, for the duration of the current programmes.</p><p>The government values international exchange and collaboration in education and training as part of its vision for a global Britain. In the white paper, we propose that the UK and EU should continue to give young people and students the chance to benefit from each other’s world leading universities, including cultural exchanges like Erasmus+. We are considering the proposals for the 2021-2027 successor scheme to Erasmus+ carefully and will continue to participate in discussions on them while we remain in the EU.</p><p>The political declaration setting out the framework for the future relationship between the EU and the UK, published on 25 November, sets out that UK participation in EU programmes such as Erasmus+ would be on the basis of a set of agreed terms which would provide for a fair and appropriate financial contribution, provisions allowing for sound financial management by both sides, fair treatment of participants, and management and consultation appropriate to the nature of our involvement.</p> answering member constituency Guildford answering member printed Anne Milton question first answered 03/12/2018 16:43:36 answering member 1523 label Biography information for Anne Milton
