Question 43 (Keith Hill): The predicted and
actual costs of Minerva
The estimate costs of the Minerva project were
£34.1 million, profiled as follows:
| | |
| £ million |
| 2006-07 | 2007-08
| 2008-09 | 2009-10
| Total |
| 4.1 | 10.0 | 12.3
| 7.7 | 34.1 |
Actual spend will be below this amount as the scope of the
project has become more narrowly focused than originally planned,
with a sharper focus on Diplomas.
To date, a total of £11.3 million has been spent—£4.1
million in 2006-07 and £7.2 million in 2007-08 (to end of
January).
Question 48 (Keith Hill): The cost of teaching various
qualifications
Funding for pre-16 education does not vary by type or number
of qualifications taken. We estimate the average level of funding
per year for 14-16 year olds undertaking Key Stage 4 (KS4) in
2007-08 is £4,106. This figure excludes grants (including
School Standards Grant, School Development Grant and other non
delegated funding to schools).
Additional funding is provided for 14-16 year olds taking
Diplomas through the Diploma specific grant to reflect the additional
costs arising form the practical, applied nature of the learning.
Modelling of the amount of additional learning based on content
specifications for the for the first five Diploma lines together
with the Learning and Skills Council funding methodology (which
calculates costs on the basis of the volume of learning delivered
and particular cost factors pertaining to the institution and
the individual learner) has allowed us to conclude that the average
cost per pupil per year for the additional Diploma learning is
£1,000.
The chart below shows the funding levels payable for the
different lines/levels of Diploma at KS4:
| Diploma line | Level
| Amount per place (per year) (£)
|
|
| Engineering | Level 1 | 910
|
| Level 2 | 1,215
|
| Society, Health, and Development | Level 1
| 784 |
| Level 2 | 1,047
|
| Construction and the Built Environment |
Level 1 | 910 |
| Level 2 | 1,215
|
| IT | Level 1 | 700
|
| Level 2 | 1,047
|
| Creative and Media | Level 1
| 700 |
| Level 2 | 1,047
|
The level of Diploma grant to local authorities with Diploma
pupils also includes an allowance for additional costs arising
in areas with relatively sparse populations and large distances
between institutions between which pupils may need to travel.
A basic allocation of £120 per pupil is allowed for this
in local authorities deemed to be "sparse".
Costs of qualifications taken post-16
Funding of 16-18 year olds is based on the size of the learning
programmes they study; factors pertaining to the institution where
study takes place including disadvantage, area costs, and success
rates; and any additional support that individual learners may
need.
An illustrative example of funding that a school sixth form
would receive over two years for a student on a Diploma, A level
and BTEC National Diploma vocational programme respectively, and
excluding institutional and individual learner factors, would
be as follows:
| Qualification | Funding over 2 years (£)
|
|
| Advanced Diploma | 8,914 |
| 3 A levels (3 AS, 3 A2) | 7,383
|
| BTEC National Diploma | 8,561
|
Question 58 (Mr Austin Mitchell): The degree of readiness
of local partnerships
The chart below shows the support assessments for the consortia
due to deliver from September 2008, aggregated to Government Office
region. It shows that level of support required in order to ensure
that each consortium will be in the best position to delivery
Diplomas successfully from this September. It is not a performance
table or ranking table. The rating refers only to the degree of
support being provided.
As well as the support that consortia have received through
the Consortia Support Programme, they have been receiving dedicated
support and challenge from the 14-19 Regional Advisers. Through
a series of regional events with all the partner organisations
supporting consortia development, the advisers are ensuring that
preparations in each area are fully effective and that suitable
training can be offered throughout the summer term in preparation
for delivery from September 2008.
In addition, where appropriate the advisers have worked closely
with consortia to help them work through specific issues and areas
of concern agreeing next steps.
