We would like to see senior leaders in the sector exercise more pay restraint.”</p><p> </p><p>Jo Johnson, the Minister for Universities and Science, has continued to call on the sector to show restraint in Vice Chancellors' pay and for the sector to demonstrate more leadership especially at a time when students are concerned about value for money.</p><p> </p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>Fees for English domiciled undergraduate students studying at Higher Education Institutions that are funded by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) are subject to maximum fees, which are set in legislation. HEFCE funded institutions that have an access agreement in place for widening participation with the Office for Fair Access (OFFA) can charge a higher fee than those that do not. In addition, HEFCE funded institutions that have demonstrated high quality teaching by achieving a Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) rating can charge up to a higher fee than those that do not.</p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>Non-continuation rates for UK students at English Higher Education Institutions are lower than in 2009/10, including for the most disadvantaged students. Analysis by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) has found that students’ age, subject studied and entry qualifications account for a substantial portion of the gap between the most and least disadvantaged students. The analysis is available here: <a href="http://www.hefce.ac.uk/analysis/ncr/nhe/" target="_blank">http://www.hefce.ac.uk/analysis/ncr/nhe/</a>.</p><p> </p><p>We want to continue to see reduced non-continuation rates for all students. The Higher Education and Research Act 2017 requires institutions to publish admissions and retention data by gender, ethnicity and socio-economic background, and this greater transparency will help the Higher Education sector make further progress to build on what has already been achieved. We are working closely with HEFCE and the Director of Fair Access to target resources effectively and to ensure that universities take more responsibility for widening access and retention for students from disadvantaged backgrounds, prioritising activities that demonstrate the greatest value for money.</p>

answer text <p>Improving social mobility requires support from all parts of society: government, employers and civic organisations. The Secretary of State recently spoke at the launch of the Social Mobility Employers Index. The Index highlights how employers, including government, are taking steps to ensure talented people from all works of life can access good jobs. I strongly encourage employers to sign up to the Index next year.</p><p> </p><p>We are also taking further specific action. In the Industrial Strategy we set out that we are reviewing the current careers offer for people of all ages. We will build on the best international evidence to publish a comprehensive careers strategy later this year.</p><p>The Careers &amp; Enterprise Company will also ensure every secondary school in an Opportunity Area has an Enterprise Adviser, and will provide, for every young person, four encounters with the world of work. This support will focus the whole education community in areas of the country where social mobility is lowest.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p><strong><br> </strong></p><p> </p>

answer text <p>We encourage all providers to offer childcare that works for everyone. Many providers that cannot or do not want to run provision from 8.00 a.m. until 6.00 p.m. throughout the year work in partnership to make this kind of offer available to parents. We have supported this approach, for example by publishing practical advice on working in partnership, and by allowing childminders to spend up to half of their time working on non-domestic premises.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, local authorities have a statutory duty to secure sufficient childcare for working parents for children aged 0-14 (or up to 18 for disabled children). They should report annually to elected council members on how they are meeting this statutory duty, and make this report available to parents.</p><p> </p><p>Local authorities must also maintain a service that provides information to parents and prospective parents on the provision of childcare in their area, and, from 1 September 2017, publish this information on the local authority’s website and update it at least termly.</p>
