	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/01/2019 answer text <p>​T levels will be larger and more demanding than current equivalent programmes, and the government has announced the investment of an additional £500 million a year to support providers to deliver T levels once they are fully rolled out.</p><p>​The funding rates for T level programmes will be higher than for existing study programmes, and are subject to a public consultation which was published on 27 November 2018 and will close on 19 February 2019 – available at: <a href="https://consult.education.gov.uk/fe-funding/t-level-funding-methodology/" target="_blank">https://consult.education.gov.uk/fe-funding/t-level-funding-methodology/</a>. The consultation document proposes that T level funding rates will vary depending on the size of the T level, with the smallest attracting a rate of £4,170 per year and the largest £5,835. As set out in the T levels funding consultation document, additional funding would also be provided on top of these rates through the funding formula.</p> answering member constituency Guildford answering member printed Anne Milton question first answered 11/01/2019 12:28:47 answering member 1523 label Biography information for Anne Milton

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/01/2019 answer text <p>The Department uses internationally comparable data from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) to assess how our funding compares internationally. This includes figures published by the OECD on expenditure on educational institutions per full-time equivalent student, for upper secondary programmes and all secondary programmes. The UK has higher total government expenditure on primary and secondary educational institutions per student than all G7 countries bar the US. The expenditure is above the OECD average.</p><p>The data on expenditure by phase of education, including a breakdown for upper secondary programmes and all secondary programmes, is available in Table C1.1 of the OECD’s Education at a Glance 2018 publication at the following link: <a href="https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/education/education-at-a-glance-2018/total-expenditure-on-educational-institutions-per-full-time-equivalent-student-2015_eag-2018-table133-en" target="_blank">https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/education/education-at-a-glance-2018/total-expenditure-on-educational-institutions-per-full-time-equivalent-student-2015_eag-2018-table133-en</a>.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 15/01/2019 12:20:41 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb previous answer version 94840 answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

	question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what the average per pupil funding rate was for (a) GCSE students and (b) A-level students in each year since 2010.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/01/2019 answer text <p>The core schools budget has been protected in real terms since 2010 and is set to rise from almost £41 billion in 2017-18 to over £43.5 billion in 2019/20 with increasing pupil numbers.</p><p>The introduction of the national funding formula for schools (NFF) in 2018/19 means that, for the first time, school funding will be distributed to local authorities based on the individual needs and characteristics of every school in the country. This is directing resources where they are needed most, providing transparency and predictability for schools, and addressing historic disparities between areas. For example, Coventry received £510 more per pupil than Plymouth despite having equal proportions of pupils eligible for free school meals and Nottingham similarly attracted £555 more than Halton. These disparities had persisted for nearly a decade, with little or no justification.</p><p>Under the NFF, the basic per pupil funding amount for Key Stage 4 pupils is £4,386. Pupils may also attract additional funding through other NFF factors or through other funding streams, such as the pupil premium. Pupils in areas which face higher labour costs will also have the per pupil amount they attract increased by the relevant area cost adjustment, in recognition of those costs.</p><p>To provide stability for schools, local authorities continue to be responsible for designing the distribution of funding in their areas. Because of this, local authorities can continue to set their own base funding rates for Key Stage 4 pupils, which can vary from the figure above.</p><p>Before 2018-19, the Department did not distinguish between key stages when allocating funding to local authorities through the dedicated schools grant. Each local authority will have set their own funding rates for Key Stage 4 pupils for each year in this period.</p><p>Students who take A levels typically do so as part of 16 to 19 study programmes. The Department does not separately identify the per student funding rate for students taking A levels rather than other qualifications in their study programmes. The base rate of funding for 16 to 19 study programmes is £4,000 per year for full-time 16 and 17-year-old students. Additional funding is provided on top of this through the 16-19 funding formula, to cover, for example, the needs of disadvantaged students, and to provide extra funding support for high attaining students who study four or five A levels. The £4,000 rate has been in place since the current formula was introduced in 2013.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 15/01/2019 17:51:40 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb previous answer version 94841 answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
