The Government has introduced a computing curriculum at all four Key Stages, which aims to ensure that all pupils understand the fundamental principles of computer science, including programming, coding and data representation. The Department has reformed the computer science GCSE and A level so they provide a stronger foundation for further academic and vocational study, and better prepare students for higher education.<\/p>
While entries to these qualifications have increased rapidly since their introduction, they are still too low. That is why a new National Centre for Computing Education has been launched, which is backed by £84 million of investment announced in the 2017 Autumn Budget. The programme will improve the teaching of computing and drive up participation in computer science at GCSE and A level, particularly amongst girls.<\/p>
There are a number of options available to young people for further study, including through digital apprenticeships or, from 2020, one of the digital T levels which are based on employer designed standards and content. In addition, the Government launched the Ada National College for Digital Skills, which opened in 2016 and specialises in higher level training for digital specialisms.<\/p>

Automation and technological change is expected to have a significant impact on the jobs market over the next 10 to 20 years, bringing new challenges and opportunities. The National Retraining Scheme, which was announced in the Autumn Budget 2017, is an ambitious and far-reaching programme focussed on adult retraining. The scheme will help those who are most at risk and in precarious employment to gain the skills that they need to thrive as the economy changes.<\/p>

Apprenticeship levy-paying employers can transfer levy funds to as many employers as they wish, provided the total of transfers does not exceed 10% of the total value of levy funds declared in the previous tax year. This will rise to 25% from April 2019.<\/p>
We are monitoring the impact of all aspects of apprenticeship funding policy, including the changes to co-investment rates and the transfer limit announced in the Budget, to make sure that we continue to support employers of all sizes to make a sustainable investment in high-quality skills training.<\/p>

The following information pertains to the 2017-18 financial year and is based on the aggregate spending on apprenticeships as set out in the department\u2019s 2017-18 annual report and accounts.<\/p>

Additional payments relating to apprentices who started on or after 1 May 2017 were £99 million. English and maths training for apprentices who started on or after 1 May 2017 was £38 million.<\/p>

The Department for Education has a ring-fenced apprenticeship budget which has been set regardless of how much levy receipts are each year. This budget was set at £2.23 billion for the 2018-19 financial year. It is used to fund new apprenticeship starts in levy and non-levy paying employers and to cover the ongoing training costs of apprentices that are already in training.<\/p>
Spending on the apprenticeship programme is demand led - employers choose which apprenticeships they offer and at what level, how many and when, to meet their current and future skills needs.<\/p>
We will publish details on aggregate apprenticeship spending in our departmental end of year accounts as part of our annual financial reporting cycle.<\/p>"}

Since the Institute for Apprenticeships was established in April 2017, ministers and officials in the department have had regular meetings with the institute. These have included 6 monthly ministerial reviews with the institute, and quarterly performance reviews at senior official level. These reviews have discussed the progress of the institute in discharging its apprenticeship responsibilities and preparing to take on responsibilities for T levels. Ministers and officials have met the institute regularly between these meetings to discuss a range of issues related to the business of the institute and the apprenticeship and technical education reform programmes.<\/p>"}
