As set out in published guidance[1], if there is a change in circumstances of a provider – such as a change of ownership –their eligibility is reviewed to ensure that these robust criteria are still being met.

Extra funding is provided where needed, for example, for students on large academic programmes and for providers to attract, support and retain disadvantaged 16 to 19-year olds. In addition, my Rt hon. Friend, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, announced in the Spring Budget a significant investment in technical education for 16-19 year olds, rising to an additional £500 million a year.</p><p>The first £74 million of this investment will be allocated to help institutions build their capacity for the improved work placements that will form part of new T level programmes, from April 2018 to July 2019.</p><p> </p><p>Funding and resourcing beyond 2020 will be considered and agreed as part of the Government’s next spending review.</p><p> </p><p>The post-16 system is performing well and a record proportion of 16 to 18-year olds are now participating in education or apprenticeships. The results in the first of the reformed A levels were released in August this year, with students continuing to achieve effectively against the high standards of the qualification and demonstrating their readiness for the demands of higher education. Overall, A level results this year were stable compared to last year.</p><p> </p><p>A record number of 18-year olds applied to Higher Education this year and the entry rate for English 18-year olds from disadvantaged backgrounds is at a record high.</p>
