<p>From 2019/20 academic year the Adult Education Budget (AEB) will be devolved to
6 Mayoral Combined Authorities (MCA) (Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, Greater Manchester,
Liverpool City Region, Tees Valley, West Midlands and West of England) and delegated
to the Greater London Authority (GLA).</p><p> </p><p>49% of the AEB participation
budget will be devolved to MCAs/GLA.</p><p> </p><p>51% of the AEB will be administrated
by the Education Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) who will continue to be responsible
for funding learners that are resident outside devolved areas.</p><p> </p><p>Ministers
agreed that the methodology for calculating ESFA/MCAs/GLA budgets will be based on
historic provider delivery and learner residence in 2017 to 2018. Residency calculations
have been used to determine the percentage share of the budget. The 2017 to 2018 calculation
establishes the baseline percentage for what ESFA/MCAs/GLA AEB allocations will be
for the foreseeable future.</p><p> </p><p>The percentage split between ESFA/MCAs/GLA
in future years could change dependent upon whether North of Tyne and Sheffield City
Region meet the readiness conditions for their devolution deals.</p>
