Question to the Department for Education:
To ask His Majesty's Government what diploma qualifications they will fund for trainee stonemasons from September 2026.
This question was answered on 6th February 2026
On 20 October 2025, alongside the publication of the Post-16 Education and Skills White Paper, the department published a consultation on post-16 level 3 and below pathways, which closed on 12 January 2026. As part of our consultation, we have been engaging with the sector on transition arrangements. We will set out our response to the consultation in due course.
We will update the information on qualifications funded in the 2026/27 academic year as soon as possible.
