<p>The Department is running a public consultation to gather further evidence on the
impact of these changes on higher education institutions and independent schools before
finalising funding arrangements for 2019-20. Our initial proposal is based on the
fact that state schools and further education institutions are most directly funded
by government grants. Our analysis on each sector (state schools, further education,
higher education and independent schools) also suggests that these institutions are
most exposed to the increase in employer pension contributions, and funding was therefore
prioritised on this basis.</p>
