Kelvin Hopkins – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Education

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Kelvin Hopkins on 2014-05-07.

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, when his Department will publish guidance for sixth form colleges that wish to convert to become 16 to 19 academies.

Mr Edward Timpson

Sixth-form colleges are classified as private sector institutions and already benefit from the freedoms that academies enjoy. For this reason, the Department for Education has no plans to publish guidance for sixth-form colleges that wish to convert to become 16 to 19 academies.
