question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government why the net expenditure of the Standards and Testing Agency in the year ending March 2012 was over 25 per cent lower than the average yearly net expenditure for the period April 2010 to March 2015.

uin	HL846
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/07/2016 answer text <p>The year ending March 2012 was the period when the Qualifications and Curriculum Development Agency closed and the Standards and Testing Agency opened. The reduction in expenditure can partly be explained by the transfer of functions between the two organisations. In addition, there was no whole cohort external marking of the Key Stage 2 writing test that year.</p> answering member printed Lord Nash question first answered 12/07/2016 13:18:50 answering member 4270 label Biography information for Lord Nash

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what training teachers preparing to work in prisons receive beyond their teaching qualification.
tabling member printed	Lord Storey
uin	HL849
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/07/2016 answer text <p>In the majority of adult prisons in England education is delivered by Skills Funding Agency (SFA) Offender Learning and Skills Service (OLASS) providers. Individuals wishing to be employed by OLASS providers to teach in prisons should meet the same standards as those preparing to teach SFA funded provision in the learning and skills sector in England.</p><p>In addition, the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills grant funds the Education and Training Foundation (ETF) to deliver a specific programme of work to support teaching and learning in prisons, this includes activity to support the professional development of OLASS teachers. In 2016-17 we made available £0.6m to the ETF.</p><p>Training such as in health and safety is the responsibility of the Prison Governor and is arranged locally for OLASS staff by individual prisons.</p><p>There are also a number of privately managed prisons where the operator is responsible for providing education under their contract with the National Offender Management Service. The Directors of those prisons ensure that, beyond their teaching qualifications, teachers will attend a training course varying between three days and one week, depending on which prison they work at. This training is aimed at preparing them to work in the prison environment. A number of these prisons operate a further period where the new starter will observe and shadow existing staff, usually lasting two weeks.</p> answering member printed Baroness Neville-Rolfe question first answered 08/07/2016 11:27:50 answering member 4284 label Biography information for Baroness Neville-Rolfe

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what are the re-offending rates of prisoners who have completed (1) GCSEs, and (2) A-levels, while in prison.
tabling member printed	Lord Storey
uin	HL850
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/07/2016 answer text <p>Re-offending rates are not currently available broken down by different levels of education attainment.</p><p> </p><p>We want to improve education so prisoners are less likely to commit crime on release. That is why we are investing in a modern prison estate, where governors are empowered to run prisons in the way they think best, and prisoners are given a chance to work or learn. It is only through more effective rehabilitation that we will reduce reoffending, cut crime and improve public safety.</p> answering member printed Lord Faulks question first answered 12/07/2016 16:20:08 answering member 4183 label Biography information for Lord Faulks
