Mark Pritchard – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Education

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Mark Pritchard on 2015-11-09.

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if she will discuss with the Treasury the introduction of three-year funding plans for colleges to align with the period of the Spending Review.

Mr Sam Gyimah

16-19 funding is based on the level of recruitment institutions delivered in the previous year. That means institutions’ funding keeps pace with changing student numbers with the minimum delay. The Government has no plans to change the 16-19 funding system.
