Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what the real-terms change to funding for Further Education Colleges has been in each year since 2010.

The department does not hold this information, as it does not record or calculate the real terms changes to funding as requested.

There will be an extra £1.6 billion in 16-19 education by the 2024/25 financial year compared with 2021/22.

We are making a capital investment in skills over this Spending Review period of over £2.8 billion, to improve the condition of post-16 estate, provide new places in post-16 education, provide specialist equipment and facilities for T Levels, and deliver the commitment to 21 Institutes of Technology across England. This investment will ensure that colleges are able to deliver the skills that local areas need, including in key sectors like biosciences and green energy.
