	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/10/2019 answer text <p>We greatly value our further education (FE) teachers and all the excellent work they do in supporting learners from a wide range of backgrounds, improving productivity and social mobility.</p><p>We know FE faces cost pressures, and that this impacts on teacher pay. We have announced a 16-19 funding increase of £400 million in 2020-21, in addition to funding the extra costs of the Teachers’ Pension Scheme in the same year. This is the largest injection of new money in a decade. This includes £20 million of new funding for the FE workforce.</p><p>However, FE and sixth form colleges have a different legal status and relationship to the government when compared with schools. They are private sector institutions, responsible for setting their own pay and conditions. FE colleges are not in scope for school pay arrangements.</p> answering member constituency Chippenham answering member printed Michelle Donelan question first answered 24/10/2019 14:52:51 answering member 4530 label Biography information for Michelle Donelan

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/10/2019 answer text <p>We want all children and young people, no matter what their special education need or disability, to be able to reach their full potential and receive the right support to succeed in their education and as they move into adult life. The SEND Code of Practice explicitly states that all children and young people with SEND (special educational needs and disabilities) should be prepared for adulthood, including higher education and employment, and that this preparation should start early.</p><p> </p><p>The latest available data shows that, when compared to all pupils, pupils finishing key stage 4 who have an identified hearing impairment were similarly likely to have a sustained education, employment or apprenticeship destination (both at 94% for the 2016/17 cohort). The majority (88%) stayed in education, 3% went to apprenticeships and 3% had an employment destination. Overall, outcomes for this group of students have remained stable for the last 3 years for which data is available (the 2014/15 to 2016/17 key stage 4 cohorts).</p><p> </p><p>Destination data for learners aged 16 to 18 is published with a SEND/non-SEND breakdown, but data is not broken down by type of need for this age group.</p><p>We are currently exploring the possibility of launching a large-scale longitudinal study of children and young people with SEND in England, which would allow us to gather evidence on progress and long-term outcomes for these pupils, including on preparation for adulthood. The initial intensive research activity for this work is currently underway and will provide methodological recommendations on how this work could be progressed.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p><strong><br> </strong></p> answering member constituency Chippenham answering member printed Michelle Donelan question first answered 24/10/2019 16:22:23 answering member 4530 label Biography information for Michelle Donelan
