We have been allocated £1.5 billion for the Adult Education Budget for each year of the 2015 Spending Review period to engage adults to participate and develop the skills and learning they need up to level 3 to equip them for work, an apprenticeship or further learning.</p><p>We are actively exploring the efficiency and resilience of further education and will be assessing how far existing and forecast funding and regulatory structures enable high quality provision. 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

	uin	191286
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/11/2018 answer text <p>Our new high quality apprenticeship standards are developed by employers and contain the skills, knowledge and behaviours that an apprentice needs to be occupationally competent, including science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) content where appropriate. Employers are able to choose the standards that best suit their needs and can determine how off the job training content is delivered. We have therefore not made an assessment of the costs to employers of providing STEM off the job training content.</p><p>The criteria that the Institute for Apprenticeships uses to decide the level of STEM content required by apprenticeship standards is a matter for the Institute. I have asked its Chief Executive, Sir Gerry Berragan, to write to the right hon. Member and a copy of his reply will be placed in the Libraries of both Houses.</p> answering member constituency Guildford answering member printed Anne Milton question first answered 22/11/2018 15:21:58 answering member 1523 label Biography information for Anne Milton
