From May 2017, frameworks in some sector subject areas will incorporate a STEM uplift on the basis that employers were previously more likely to make additional contributions to the costs of training in these areas. We sought evidence on what sector subject areas should be included in the policy for 2017/18, prior to the policy being confirmed last October, and will monitor the market response as the policy takes effect.<\/p>

We are also moving the market away from frameworks to standards, which are higher quality and more rigorous. We recognise this in the new system by allocating higher funding bands to apprenticeship standards, relative to equivalent frameworks, where appropriate. Over the course of the parliament, we will phase out the current apprenticeship frameworks so that all new apprentices undertake standards. The agriculture sector has good emerging coverage in terms of standards, with land-based engineering already in delivery, and more under development.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4270", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Nash"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Nash"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2017-03-07", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : {"_value" : "HL5728"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2017-03-07T12:37:01.073Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "60"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2017-03-01", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Agriculture: Apprentices"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty\u2019s Government, in the light of the introduction of the revised system of Trailblazer Apprenticeship funding commencing in May, whether they will review the funding allocation for level 2 agricultural apprentices studying at land-based colleges.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3343", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Baroness Byford"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Baroness Byford"} ], "uin" : "HL5727"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/706875", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Education"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/706875/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The data collected on children\u2019s nationality is for internal DfE use only and will not be shared with any external organisations. The Department for Education has already made this commitment.<\/p>
The Department has also committed to bringing together the range of existing guidance and information on the use of pupil data by other government departments over the coming months. DfE intends that this will provide users with improved access and signposting to supporting information. This will include The Memorandum of Understanding with the Home Office alluded to under (1), and the occasional request of an individual record of data by the police alluded to under (2).<\/p>

As set out in the March 2016 White Paper,<\/em> the Department has been reviewing the role of the Local Authority in education and children\u2019s services. In July 2016 we established an Expert Advisory Board (EAB), chaired by Alan Wood, a former Director of Children\u2019s Services. The EAB met several times through the Summer and Autumn last year. These issues are now being considered as part of the Government\u2019s priorities for the school system and we expect to say more in due course.<\/p>"}
