Post-16 Education and Apprenticeship Levy Funding

Skills for Life Network

NCFE and the Campaign for Learning have launched a new paper, ‘Post-16 Education and Apprenticeship Levy Funding: next steps for English devolution’ – a volume of expert pieces that consider the future of the post-16 education and training budget from a devolution perspective.

The pamphlet has contributions from well known experts in post-16 education, and its focus is the £27.8bn post-16 education and training budget excluding capital spending. The authors look at the arguments for and against devolving post-16 budgets,  and at what issues will need to be considered for students, providers and policymakers.

The contributions are:

  • Joe Dromey, Learning and Work Institute on Devolving 16-18 Education and Apprenticeship Levy Funding
  • Kevin Gilmartin, Association of School and College Leaders on Devolving 16-18 Education Funding: Issues for School Sixth Forms 
  • Julian Gravatt, Association of Colleges on Devolving 16-18 Education Funding: Issues for FE and Sixth Form Colleges
  • Ewart Keep, SKOPE, University of Oxford on Devolving Apprenticeship Levy Funding: Issues for Policy Makers
  • Susan Pember, HOLEX on Devolving Post-16 Funding: Lessons from the Adult Education Budget
  • Mick Fletcher, RCU on Devolution and Post-18 Fee and Maintenance Loans: Issues for Students
  • Alan Palmer, MillionPlus on Devolution of 16-18 Education and Apprenticeship Levy Funding: Issues for Higher Education
