answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/12/2018 answer text <p>​It is essential that the further education (FE) sector is able to recruit and retain excellent teachers if we are to achieve a world-class technical education system in England. Due to the independent nature of the FE sector, and government’s historical relationship with it, we do not have detailed data on FE teacher pay, or on the wider FE workforce.</p><p>We are undertaking work to understand the situation better, including the specific challenges and opportunities in relation to teacher recruitment and retention in the sector. This includes our recent College Staff Survey, which is helping us develop a better insight into the state of the teaching profession in FE and shows that more than half of all teachers have worked in the sector for ten years or more.</p><p>We want to support the recruitment and development of FE teachers. This year we have launched our £5 million Taking Teaching Further programme to help attract talented and inspiring people with industry expertise to teach in FE. We have also announced our £8 million new bespoke professional development offer, T level Professional Development, to help existing teachers and leaders successfully deliver T levels.</p><p>​Further, we have recently commissioned research on identifying FE teacher comparators, and on incentive programmes for the recruitment and retention on FE teachers, to better inform our thinking. The reports, and the results of the College Staff Survey, are available at GOV.UK.</p> answering member constituency Guildford answering member printed Anne Milton question first answered 17/12/2018 16:07:56 answering member 1523 label Biography information for Anne Milton

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how much money was reallocated from the Dedicated Schools Grant towards the High Needs Block in each local authority area in England in each of the last three years.
tabling member constituency	Oxford West and Abingdon
tabling member printed	Layla Moran
uin	191474
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/11/2018 answer text <p>Prior to 2018-19, local authorities were free to determine the balance of funding between their schools, high needs and early years budgets, all funded from the Dedicated Schools Grant (DSG). It is not possible to give figures for transfers from the schools block to high needs, as the precise amounts spent by local authorities will also be affected by transfers to and from DSG reserves, and any funding from other sources (for instance, local authorities’ general funds) spent on educational purposes.</p><p>In 2018-19, with the introduction of the national funding formulae for schools and high needs, we have limited this flexibility in order to ensure that the majority of schools funding that local authorities receive is going directly to schools.</p><p>Local authorities are able to move up to 0.5% of their funding from the schools block to the high needs block, with agreement of their schools forum. This is explained in the high needs operational guide, available at <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/high-needs-funding-arrangements-2019-to-2020" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/high-needs-funding-arrangements-2019-to-2020</a>. Where a local authority wishes to move more funding, or the forum does not agree to the transfer, the local authority will be required to seek recourse to my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Education. Last year, after thorough consideration, 13 local authorities were granted the ability to move funding under these circumstances.</p><p>We will publish data shortly showing the amount of schools block funding the local authorities has allocated this year, compared to the amount they received, thereby providing an indication of funding directed to other areas, such as high needs.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 19/11/2018 17:18:42 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2018 answer text <p>The department is keen to ensure that all T level students will have access to high quality industry placements. The consultation on T levels, held earlier this year, asked how we can support all students to access industry placements relevant to their course in areas where there are not employers to offer industry placements nearby.</p><p>Feedback from the consultation and the industry placement pilot scheme last year helped identify what support is needed. We have provided nearly £60 million during this academic year to help post-16 providers to build their capacity to deliver industry placements in advance of T level roll-out. We are also working with the Department for Environment, Food &amp; Rural Affairs to understand how students in rural, coastal and remote areas can access industry placements.</p><p>We are also carrying out extensive stakeholder engagement across different challenging industries to ensure that industry placement policy generates placements that are meaningful and reflective of current industry practice, which will help to widen access to T levels in all parts of the country.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Guildford answering member printed Anne Milton question first answered 05/11/2018 16:35:53 answering member 1523 label Biography information for Anne Milton
