answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/03/2022 answer text <p>We have raised awareness of T Levels through targeted engagement with schools and colleges, working with education sector organisations, and marketing campaigns aimed at students, parents and employers. There are currently just over 100 providers delivering T Levels, including colleges and schools. Over 400 providers are planning to deliver T Levels from 2023, with all general further education colleges included at that point.</p><p>We have given significant, early support to providers to ensure readiness for delivery, including network events, peer support, and funding to build capacity for industry placements and workforce preparation. We are also working closely with Ofsted to ensure the successful delivery of T Levels more broadly and have commissioned a thematic survey of the first three years of T Level delivery. This will help us identify strengths, weaknesses and areas for improvement across a substantial sample of providers to help inform best practice for the future rollout.</p> answering member printed Baroness Barran question first answered 10/03/2022 17:57:39 answering member 4703 label Biography information for Baroness Barran

tabling member printed	Lord Jones
uin	HL5629
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/01/2022 answer text <p>The department allocates annual condition funding to schools and those responsible for school buildings. Since 2015, the department has allocated £11.3 billion to maintain and improve school buildings, including £1.8 billion for the financial year 2021-22.</p><p>Local authorities (LAs), large multi-academy trusts and large voluntary-aided (VA) school bodies receive an annual school condition allocation to invest in capital maintenance and upgrades across the schools for which they are responsible. Stand-alone schools, small academy trusts and smaller VA bodies are eligible to apply for funding through the Condition Improvement Fund.</p><p>All schools also receive funding to spend on their capital priorities through an annual devolved formula capital allocation.</p><p>In addition to condition allocations, we deliver major rebuilding programmes centrally, including the Priority Schools Building Programme, which is rebuilding or refurbishing more than 500 schools in the poorest condition. In June 2020, my right hon. Friend, the Prime Minister, announced a new 10-year School Rebuilding Programme. We have announced the first 100 schools to benefit from the programme, as part of a commitment to 500 projects over the next decade.</p><p>In the 2015-16 financial year, the department allocated a total of £5.1 billion in capital funding to schools, including funding for rebuilding projects and to deliver school places. This includes £1,399,601,236 in condition funding to schools and those responsible for school buildings. You can find the allocations for individual schools here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/school-capital-funding" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/guidance/school-capital-funding</a>. This funding is not broken down between primary and secondary schools because much of the funding was allocated to LAs, academy trusts and VA school bodies to invest based on local knowledge.</p><p>In the 2000-01 financial year, the department allocated £1.9 billion in capital funding for schools. A breakdown of how this funding was spent across different projects is not readily available.</p> answering member printed Baroness Barran question first answered 28/01/2022 14:44:22 answering member 4703 label Biography information for Baroness Barran
