As part of the Transforming Youth Custody Programme, the Government will shortly announce the outcome of a competition for new education contracts in under-18 Young Offender Institutions, which will aim to more than double the average number of hours of education provided for young people each week. The Government is taking forward reforms of Young Offender Institutions to support a stronger focus on education and reduce interruptions that impact on the number of hours provided.<\/p>
<\/p>
The question asked about the average number of hours of education provided per week for a young offender in young offender institutions can only be answered at disproportionate cost.<\/p>

The variation in the hours received results from legitimate absences, such as attending court, attending appointments and illness, and occasional provider cancellations (which we reconcile against for funding). The Education Funding Agency works closely with the providers, the National Offender Management Service (NOMS) and the Youth Justice Board to resolve issues affecting the delivery of education and training.<\/p> <\/p> The shortfall in hours per learner shown at HMYOI Cookham Wood is due to cancellations by the prison, rather than by the education provider.<\/p> <\/p>"}
