Higher Education

Mr. Boswell: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many people under the age of 30 were participating in higher education in each year since 1995; how many are expected to do so in each year to 2015; and what these figures represent as a proportion of the relevant age cohort. [62728]

Bill Rammell: The Higher Education Initial Participation Rate (HEIPR) is the measure that the Department uses to assess progress in participation. The HEIPR time series is available for 1999/2000 to 2004/05 and is shown in the following table.

The Department's expenditure plans allow for a continuing increase in HEIPR in the period to 2007–08, but we do not publish forecasts for individual years as these depend on the Spending Review settlements.

Our target remains to make progress towards a 50 per cent. participation rate by 2010, and we believe that progress will be made. There are a number of things that will help including continuing progress in attainment at age 18; the opening up of vocational routes into higher education, and the closer co-operation between universities and further education colleges we signalled in the recent FE White Paper; the new "train to gain" projects for employer-led higher education, and a continuing expansion of foundation degrees; and the package of support for part-time study that we announced last autumn.

House of Lords

Mike Penning: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills whether any (a) employee of her Department, (b) person engaged by her Department as a consultant and (c) paid adviser to her Department is a member of the House of Lords; and if she will make a statement. [52892]

20 Apr 2006 : Column 792W

Bill Rammell: The Department does not employ any member of the House of Lords directly. Information about consultants and advisors to the Department is not collected centrally and can be obtained only at disproportionate cost.

Pathfinder Schools

Mrs. May: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills (1) what resources have been allocated to support Pathfinder schools in each of the next five years; [50252]

(2) how much has been awarded to Pathfinder schools in each of the past two years, broken down by local authority. [50253]

Jacqui Smith: The following table shows for each local authority the amount of money allocated to pathfinder projects in schools in the last two years. The figures shown for Building Schools for the Future pathfinder schools for 2005–06 are the amounts notified to local authorities and schools, but will be spent over the next three years. Information on resources for other Pathfinder schools over the next five years is not currently available.
