Adult Education: York
(asked on 18th March 2015) - View Source
Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, pursuant to the Answer of 12 March 2015 to Question 226805, where in the weblinks provided the information requested can be found on how much the Government has made available in adult skills funding in (a) York Central constituency, (b) City of York Council and (c) all areas using York College in 2015-16; how much such funding was made available in each of the last six years (i) in cash terms and (ii) at current prices; and if he will place in the Library a table showing that information.
I refer the hon. Member to my previous answer of 12 March 2015 to Question UIN 226806. Adult skills funding is made available to further education providers, not local areas. The funding system is demand led and money follows the learners.
Allocations for 2015-16 are available on the Skills Funding Agency website. Historic allocations are also available on the Skills Funding Agency website.
To offer accountability as to how allocations money is spent we publish tables showing a summary of learning associated with each provider. For York College in 2012/13, see row 1,235 in the link below:
It should be noted that in any given area, learners are supported by a range of different providers. For a summary of further education providers and their delivery in the York local authority in 2012/13, see rows 53,186 to 53,387 of the link below:
All provider and local authority tables are published in the FE Data Library:
