<p>We are making ambitious reforms to education, as set out in the ‘Education and
Employment Strategy’ published in May. This means that, from next April, prison governors
will have direct control of their education budgets, will decide the curriculum and
will have chosen the provider(s) of their education, promoting learning that best
meets the needs of their prisoners.</p><p> </p><p>Alongside the Prison Education Framework,
we have launched a Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS), with over 170
education providers offering a huge range of learning and skills. It is through the
DPS that prisons will secure Information, Advice and Guidance which enables prisoners
to make informed choices about their education and future employment options.</p>
