The information requested is not held centrally. The apprenticeship levy is collected by Her Majesty\u2019s Revenue and Customs from employers with a pay bill in excess of £3 million per year.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) does not require levy-paying employers to register a sector when they set up an online apprenticeship service account to manage their funds. Therefore, ESFA are unable to supply information on the sectoral distribution of spending on apprenticeships. There are currently no plans to change the registration process to collect this information from employers registering for an apprenticeship service account.<\/p>
<\/p>
We continue to use detailed data on apprenticeship starts (including levy-supported starts) and work closely with employers and sector bodies to further develop our understanding of how apprenticeships work for the creative sector.<\/p>
<\/p>
The quarterly \u2018Apprenticeships and Traineeships\u2019 data release provides an overview of the programme. The most recent update was published on 11 July 2019. All quarterly data releases include a \u2018main commentary\u2019 which summarises apprenticeship starts by level, framework or standard, and whether or not they were the levy-supported. This commentary has been attached and it available at: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/815291/Apprenticeships_and_Traineeships_release_July19_main_text.pdf<\/a>. The whole quarterly release is available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/apprenticeships-and-traineeships-july-2019<\/a>.<\/p> <\/p> Data on apprenticeship starts by sector subject area and funding type can be compared using the interactive pivot tool entitled \u2018Monthly apprenticeship starts by sector subject area, framework or standard, age, level, funding type and degree apprenticeship\u2019 found in the monthly \u2018Apprenticeships and levy statistics\u2019 release. This was last updated in May 2019 and available at: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/804343/Monthly-apprenticeship-starts-fwk-tool_May-2019.xlsx<\/a>. The whole monthly release is available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/apprenticeship-and-levy-statistics-may-2019<\/a>.<\/p> <\/p> We are working closely with employers in the creative industries so they can realise the benefits of apprenticeships. The Department for Digital Culture, Media and Sport is developing an innovative pilot which will enable apprentices to benefit from hands-on experience on the sets of major films and television shows. Launching later this year, it will explore a new model that fulfils the requirements of high-quality apprenticeships, but uses multiple placements on film and television productions, as well as addressing skills shortages.<\/p>"}

Friend, the Secretary of State for Education, launched the attached Education Technology Strategy, \u2018Realising the potential of technology in education\u2019. This was launched to support the education sector in England to use and embed technology effectively, and to develop a vibrant EdTech business sector in the UK.<\/p> Research informing the Strategy highlighted that technology has the potential to reduce teacher workload, create savings, and improve pupil and student outcomes. However, certain conditions need to be in place to maximise benefit; for example, good connectivity and infrastructure, teacher confidence in using technology, strong and supportive leadership, and awareness that technology supplements rather than replaces good teaching.<\/p> To further understand the impact technology can have on the education sector, the department is developing a testbed programme which will help build the evidence base on the use of technology within schools and colleges. We have also created a leadership group made up of sector experts to work in collaboration with the government to help understand best practice and champion the objectives of our Strategy.<\/p> <\/p>"}
