Select Committee on Education and Skills Minutes of Evidence



REPLIES TO QUESTION SENT BY THE COMMITTEE TO THE DEPARTMENT FOR EDUCATION AND SKILLS ON 20 JUNE

Tables 8.1 and 8.2 of the Departmental Report give aggregate figures for Further Education, Adult Learning, Skills and Lifelong Learning. This is broken down into different components in 8.2. Is it possible to break it down to show how much of this funding is for 16-19 education and how much is for post-19 education?

  The attached table provides a breakdown of FE budgets between 16-19 education and post-19 education. Some budgets are allocated to both 16-19 and post-19 learners and it is not possible to break them down further. These are shown separately.

  Figures are not available for 2000-01 because FEFC budget figures for that year did not make an equivalent differentiation between expenditure on young people and expenditure on adults as has been made available through the LSC from 2001-02 onwards.

  Small differences between the bottom line totals shown in this table and the Further Education, Adult Learning, Skills and Lifelong Learning line in Table 8.2 are due to small transfers to and from sub-budgets which could not be reflected at the time of the Departmental Report, and the exclusion of LSC receipts from figures set out in the FE White Paper from which some of these figures are drawn.
