The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps she is taking to support sixth-form colleges.

Answered by Janet Daby

This government is committed to driving economic growth and supporting opportunity for all, and further education (FE) is central to this.

My right hon. Friend, the Chancellor of the Exchequer announced £300 million in 2025/26 for FE at the Autumn Budget 2024. We will set out how the additional funding will be distributed in due course.
