answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/11/2018 answer text <p>We have put in place a number of policies which will enable adults, including veterans, to access training to either help them into employment or to develop their careers whilst in employment.</p><p>Our reforms to apprenticeships will provide people of all ages with access to top quality training and career prospects. In addition, the government-funded and government-supported careers offer includes the National Careers Service, which offers free careers information, advice and guidance to both young people and adults.</p><p>The National Retraining Scheme, which was announced in the 2017 Autumn Budget, is an ambitious and far-reaching programme to drive adult retraining. The scheme will help those who are most at risk and in precarious employment to gain the skills they need to thrive as the economy changes. My right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer recently announced £100 million of new government funding, which will allow the roll-out of initial elements of the National Retraining Scheme from next year, and for the continued testing and development of the scheme.</p><p>We are also funding specific schemes which provide training for veterans to become further education teachers or school teachers. Further Forces recruits and trains service leavers to teach science, engineering and technology in further education. There are currently around 100 service leavers engaged in the programme, which is delivered by the Education and Training Foundation. In 2017, additional funding of £900,000 over two years was made available to expand the programme by up to 100 further places.</p><p>For teaching in schools, the Troops to Teachers bursary is worth a total of £40,000 over two years and will help ex-servicemen and women make the transition to the classroom. It is available to veterans who study for an undergraduate degree with Qualified Teacher Status in England in a priority subject.</p><p>This is in addition to the work that the Ministry of Defence undertakes to help veterans into work and new careers.</p> answering member constituency Guildford answering member printed Anne Milton question first answered 22/11/2018 15:02:22 answering member 1523 label Biography information for Anne Milton

Member for Makerfield, what the evidential basis is for the statements that (a) the Government has invested nearly £7 billion this year in further education and (b) funding to support adult participation in further education will be higher than at any time in England’s history by 2020.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/11/2018 answer text <p>The government plans to invest nearly £7 billion during the 2018/19 academic year, to ensure there is a place in education or training for every 16 to 19 year old who wants one. This is made up of £5.7 billion as set out in the 2018/19 published 16 to 19 allocations (available at the following link: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/16-to-19-allocation-data-2018-to-2019-academic-year" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/16-to-19-allocation-data-2018-to-2019-academic-year</a>.) along with our estimates of: additional high needs funding from the Dedicated Schools Grant that will be invested by local authorities in young people with complex special educational needs or disabilities (whose support costs more than schools and colleges can meet from their annual budget); and investment in apprenticeships for 16 to 18 year olds.</p><p>By 2020, funding in adult skills participation will have increased through maintaining the Adult Education Budget at £1.5 billion per annum, by investing nearly £2.5 billion in apprenticeships per year, double what was spent in 2010, and by extending the reach of Advanced Learner loans so that funding has been available to meet demand. In addition, the total amount of investment in skills through the European Social Fund (ESF) is between £250 and £300 million per annum. Plans are being made to determine what provision should be delivered as a replacement for ESF.</p> answering member constituency Guildford answering member printed Anne Milton question first answered 20/11/2018 10:18:39 answering member 1523 label Biography information for Anne Milton

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/11/2018 answer text <p>It is the responsibility of individual employers within the further education sector to set the salaries of their staff. For the period of 2019 to 2020, we estimate that £80 million more will need to be put into the Teacher Pensions Scheme by further education employers as a result of the recent revaluation.</p><p>Our intention is to fund general further education colleges and sixth form colleges, specialist designated institutions and adult and community learning providers for the increased costs resulting from the changes to the valuation of the Teachers’ Pension Scheme.</p><p>We will undertake a public consultation to make sure that we are allocating funding to where it is most needed. We expect to launch the consultation in December, with a response in January 2019. As the Local Government Pensions Scheme is due to be revalued in 2019, we are therefore unable to make estimates about employer costs until that valuation is completed.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Guildford answering member printed Anne Milton question first answered 22/11/2018 15:05:59 answering member 1523 label Biography information for Anne Milton

This work will align closely with the Post-18 Funding Review in particular, to ensure a coherent vision for further and higher education. As with other areas of departmental spending, further education funding from 2020 onwards will be considered as part of the next spending review.</p> answering member constituency Guildford answering member printed Anne Milton question first answered 22/11/2018 15:30:55 answering member 1523 label Biography information for Anne Milton

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/11/2018 answer text <p>Information on the apprenticeship levy collected by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs and spent in each local authority or region of the UK is not available in the format requested. Many larger levy-paying employers are headquartered in one region but employ staff across the country meaning that we cannot attribute the levy collected and spent in individual locations. Individual employers have control of the expenditure of apprenticeship funds based on their current and future skills needs.</p><p>Information on the number of apprenticeships funded in each region or local authority district is not available. However, we can provide the numbers of apprentices that have had some or all of their apprenticeship supported through levy funds based on their home postcode. Please see the attached files for levy-supported apprenticeship starts by region or local authority district; these figures are from May 2017, when changes to the apprenticeship funding system were implemented following the introduction of the levy, to April 2018.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Guildford answering member printed Anne Milton attachment 1 file name 191417_table_of_levy_supported_apprenticeship_starts_by_local_authority_district.pdf title Table_of_levy_supported_starts_by_LAD 2 file name 191417_table_of_levy_supported_apprenticeship_starts_by_region.pdf title Table_of_levy_supported_starts_by_region question first answered 19/11/2018 16:35:29 answering member 1523 label Biography information for Anne Milton
