Music education hubs were established to drive up the quality and consistency of music education across the country, and to that end are funded to work with children in all state-funded schools in England. This means that hubs work with all schools, including academies and free schools, to meet local needs, at the same time as ensuring that all children experience high quality music education. The roles and responsibilities of schools and music education hubs are detailed in the national plan for music education, attached, which the department has committed to refreshing for 2020 and beyond.</p> answering member printed Lord Agnew of Oulton question first answered 08/03/2019 14:53:34 answering member 4689 label Biography information for Lord Agnew of Oulton attachment 1 file name HL14088_the_importance_of_music.pdf title HL14088_the_importance_of_music

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/03/2019 answer text <p>Our apprenticeship reforms have strengthened the quality of apprenticeships, so that employers can continue to look to them as a means of meeting their skills needs in the future.</p><p>New apprenticeship standards across all levels are being designed by employers, creating higher quality training that will lead to a more skilled and productive economy. As an employer-led programme, employers choose the type and level of training that they need to meet their skills needs. There were 163,700 starts on apprenticeship standards in 2017/18, which is more than 6 times higher than the number of starts in 2016/17. This shows that employers are moving quickly to this new higher quality offer.</p><p>Our reforms are making apprenticeships longer and better, with more off-the job training and appropriate assessment at the end. These changes are making sure that today’s apprenticeships reflect what businesses want and need.</p> answering member printed Lord Agnew of Oulton question first answered 05/03/2019 17:37:55 answering member 4689 label Biography information for Lord Agnew of Oulton

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/03/2019 answer text <p>A maintained school governing body may apply to my right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State, to use his powers to revoke an academy order. The governing body must have agreed to apply for revocation by a majority vote for the application to be considered by the Secretary of State.</p><p>The department’s statutory guidance on schools causing concern makes clear that the Secretary of State’s power to revoke an academy order will only be used in very exceptional circumstances. These circumstances may include where a maintained school is not viable, and it is most appropriate for it to close, or where Ofsted have re-inspected the school and judged that it is no longer inadequate, and the current leadership and management is capable of driving continued improvement.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Agnew of Oulton question first answered 05/03/2019 17:31:59 answering member 4689 label Biography information for Lord Agnew of Oulton
