Regarding the proportion of apprentices employed at the Institute for Apprenticeships, this is a matter for the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education.

The NFF allocates at least 1% more in pupil-led funding for every pupil in 2019-20, compared to 2017-18 baselines. The table shows changes in total funding, including both pupil-led and school-led funding. In some areas, including Lewisham, total funding will grow slightly less than the minimum 1% increase in pupil-led funding when combined with the school-led funding element in the National Funding Formula.<\/p>

<\/p>

London remains the highest funded area in the country. As at March 2018, 87 per cent of schools in London are now rated as good or outstanding. Nationally, there are 1.9 million more pupils now taught in good or outstanding schools than in 2010, representing 86 per cent of pupils compared to 66% in 2010. In 2019-20, Lewisham has the 12th<\/sup> highest primary unit of funding nationally, and the 11th<\/sup> highest secondary unit of funding of all local authorities.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

[1] The calculations in the table do not include any additional funding for pupil growth, which will be calculated later this year.<\/p>

[2] * Primary funding includes funding for primary and middle-deemed primary schools.<\/p>

[3] Secondary funding includes funding for secondary, middle-deemed secondary and all-through schools.<\/p>

Prior to these PF2 contracts, 169 contracts (including 67 Building Schools for the Future PFI contracts) were signed by local authorities under the PFI. Local authorities hold this information.<\/del><\/p>

The Department does not centrally hold a list of all state maintained academies, which have been constructed via a Private Finance programme. Whilst the Department holds a list of local authority Private Finance Initiative contracts (PFI), which is published by HM Treasury, it does not maintain a list of the individual schools within the contracts. Local authorities will hold this information.<\/ins><\/p>

The Department holds details of Private Finance 2 (PF2) contracts and the schools within those contracts. There are 46 schools constructed under the PF2 programme. A list of the schools is attached and details of open academies are available on GOV.UK at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/open-academies-and-academy-projects-in-development<\/a>.<\/ins><\/p>

The Higher Education Statistics Agency publishes information on staff salaries in the higher education sector. The most recent publication can be found at: https://www.hesa.ac.uk/data-and-analysis/publications/staff-2016-17<\/a>. The government has made no estimate regarding the difference in earnings between the highest and lowest paid employees in the sector.<\/del><\/p>

Higher education providers are autonomous and it is for them to set pay levels for their staff. Universities receive significant amounts of public funding, so it is only right that their senior staff pay arrangements command public confidence and deliver value for money for both students and taxpayers.<\/del><\/p>

The government consulted on behalf of the Office for Students (OfS) on making arrangements for the publication of data on senior staff remuneration.<\/del><\/p>

From 2018 the OfS will require registered providers to disclose the relationship between the remuneration of the head of the provider and that of all other employees, expressed as a pay multiple. It will also require providers to publish the number of their staff paid more than £100,000 per annum, the total remuneration package of the head of the provider, and a justification for this remuneration package.<\/del><\/p>

The transparency created through reporting, is crucial to accelerating progress to close the gender pay gap. The data on the gender pay gap in the higher education sector can be found at: https://www.ons.gov.uk/employmentandlabourmarket/peopleinwork/earningsandworkinghours/datasets/annualsurveyofhoursandearningsashegenderpaygaptables<\/a>.<\/ins><\/p>

The Higher Education Funding Council for England, which preceded the OfS, commissioned a project that aims to equalise the gender balance and ethnic diversity of higher education governing bodies.
