Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if he will make an assessment of for what reason there are only three students from Birmingham Ladywood constituency enrolled at the National College for Advanced Transport and Infrastructure that is located in that constituency.
The Department for Education is working closely with the Department for Transport and High Speed 2 (HS2) Ltd to encourage more learners to take up opportunities to gain key skills needed across the transport and infrastructure sectors. As a National College, it is expected that students will not just be located in the local constituency but will have a different travel to learn pattern given their specialist national higher level skills offer.
