23. What assessment he has made of the quality of further education buildings in England.

[The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Education (Alex Burghart)]

We want all colleges in England to be able to provide a world-class education, which is why we are delivering our manifesto commitment to offer £1.5 billion to upgrade the further education college estate over the next six years. We have surveyed the condition of FE estates—all colleges received their own survey—and we intend to publish a national overview of the results in the next academic year.
