Student Assessment
Mr. Gibb:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills if he will make a statement on what the OECD PISA 2000 survey is measuring. [79435]
Mr. Miliband:
The main purpose of the Programme for International Student Assessment 2000 (PISA) study is to assess the knowledge and skills of 15-year-olds in three broad areas of literacy: reading, mathematics and science. It aims to assess the extent to which young people can use their knowledge and skills to meet the challenges they are likely to encounter in adult life. PISA 2000 focused on the reading literacy domain.

Top-up Fees
Mr. Caton:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills (1), what assessment he has made of the introduction of top-up fees for some higher education institutions in other countries; [79450]
(2) what assessment he has made of the potential impact on student access to higher education of introducing top-up fees; [79451]
(3) what evidence his Department has collated on the extent to which top-up fees for students will affect access to higher education. [79531]
Margaret Hodge:
We have announced our intention to publish in January a strategy document setting out our vision for the development and reform of higher education, including the outcome of the review of student support. It would not be right to say now what evidence we have been considering or what analyses we have undertaken.
Teaching Assistants
Mr. Willis:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how much was spent through the Standards Fund on teaching assistants in each local education authority in 2001–02. [79469]
Mr. Miliband:
Details of Standards Fund expenditure by local education authorities for 2001–02 are not held centrally. Some #197m was made available to authorities in 2001–02 through Standards Fund grant for the recruitment and training of teaching assistants, as set out below. 95 per cent. of this grant was required to be devolved to schools. Schools have freedom to move funding between Standards Fund headings according to their own detailed needs and priorities.
