<p>There was no centrally coordinated or funded focus group or survey activity in
2013.</p><p>In 2014, The Department for Education spent £14,016 and £15,720 on two
separate sets of centrally coordinated focus groups. Respectively, these were to support
delivery of important campaigns aimed at increasing both the number of young people
studying Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) subjects, and also the
number of two-year-olds receiving their entitlement to 15 hours of free childcare
or early learning. We also subscribed to an online survey facility (Survey Monkey)
at a cost of £299 for the year.</p><p>To establish whether other areas of the Department
have undertaken activity in this area would incur disproportionate cost.</p>
