<p>The department has not made those specific estimates. I am aware of representations
on the subject of funding for 16 to 19 year olds including the Raise the Rate campaign,
and incoming letters from MPs and the 16 to 19 sector.</p><p>We have protected the
base rate of funding for 16 to 19 year olds for all types of providers until the end
of the current spending review period in 2020. We are considering the funding and
resilience of the further education sector ahead of the next Spending Review, and
as with other areas of departmental spending, 16 to 19 funding for subsequent years
will be considered as part of that review.</p>
