OPPOSITION DAY (9th allotted day)
|
[Until 7.00 pm]
|
|
| |
EDUCATION MAINTENANCE ALLOWANCE
|
|
|
|
| |
That this House believes that disadvantaged young people should gain greater access to further and higher education; recognises
the valuable role that the education maintenance allowance (EMA) has played in supporting young people from less well-off
backgrounds to participate and succeed in education; further recognises how EMA has supported choice for students in post-16
education, allowing them to travel to the best institution for their studies, which is of particular importance in rural areas;
further notes that EMA is used by the majority of recipients to fund travel to college, as well as books and equipment, and
allows recipients to focus on their studies rather than taking a part-time job; notes that EMA has been retained in Scotland,
Wales and Northern Ireland; further notes research from the Institute for Fiscal Studies stating that EMA costs are completely
offset by its benefits in raising participation; further notes the inquiry into educational access announced by the Education
Select Committee; and calls on the Government to rethink its decision on EMA, retaining practical support to improve access
to, interest in and participation in further and higher education.
|
|
|
As an Amendment to Edward Miliband’s proposed Motion (Education maintenance allowance):
|
|
|
|
|
|
(a)
|
| |
Line 1, leave out from ‘House’ to end and add ‘believes in full participation in education and training for young people up to the
age of 18 and considers that support must be in place to allow those who face the greatest barriers to participation to access
this opportunity; notes that the previous Government left this country with one of the largest budget deficits in the world
and that savings have had to be made in order to avoid burdening future generations; further notes that the Government has
increased funding for deprivation within the 16 to 19 budget and has already begun to replace the current education maintenance
allowance system with more targeted support for those who face genuine barriers, including travel; and commits the Government
to working with young people, schools and colleges and others outside and inside Parliament on arrangements for supporting
students in further education and on improving access to, enthusiasm for and participation in further and higher education.’.

|
|
The selection of the matter to be debated this day has been made by the Leader of the Opposition (Standing Order No. 14(2)).
