We are actively exploring the funding and resilience of further education and will be assessing how far existing and forecast funding and regulatory structures enable high quality provision. This work will align closely with the Post-18 Funding Review in particular, to ensure a coherent vision for further and higher education.<\/p>
As with other areas of departmental spending, further education funding from 2020 onwards will be considered as part of the next Spending Review.<\/p>

The Department confirmed the teachers\u2019 pay award on 24 July 2018. This included a 3.5% uplift to the main pay range for classroom teachers that will raise starting salaries significantly and increase the competitiveness of the early career pay framework. The upper pay range for higher paid teachers and the leadership pay range were uplifted by 2% and 1.5% respectively. This pay award will run across the 2018-19 academic year, covering 7 months of the financial year 2018-19 and financial year 2019-20. This pay award is covered by a Teachers\u2019 Pay Grant worth £187 million in 2018-19 and £321 million in 2019-20. This grant provides additional funding to schools to cover the difference between the announced uplifts and the 1% award schools would have been expecting and planning for under the previous public sector pay cap.<\/p>
My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Education has recently set the School Teachers\u2019 Review Body (STRB)\u2019s remit asking for their recommendations on the pay award for 2019-20 academic year. The Department highly values the robust evidence based process undertaken by the STRB in reaching its recommendations on teacher pay, and will be submitting evidence on recruitment and retention and affordability as part of this process. This evidence is due to be published in the coming months.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/111", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Nick Gibb"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Bognor Regis and Littlehampton"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Nick Gibb"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-12-06", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : {"_value" : "198258"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-12-06T08:55:02.85Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "60"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-12-03", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Schools: Finance"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what funding his Department has allocated to schools for the teacher`s pay settlement in 2019-20; and if will make a statement.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/360", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Coaker"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Gedling"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Vernon Coaker"} ], "uin" : "198260"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1016297", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Education"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1016297/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
The Department does not allocate funding specifically for staffing. Schools are best placed to make decisions about how to use their funding to deliver the best outcomes for their pupils.<\/p>
