Further Education: Finance
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment she has made of the adequacy of funding for further education.
Answered by Janet Daby
This government is committed to driving economic growth and supporting opportunity for all. To help achieve these missions we announced £300 million in the 2025/26 financial year for further education (FE) at the Budget. We also announced £300 million of new capital funding for 2025/26 to support FE colleges to maintain, improve and ensure suitability of their estate.
FE funding, including its adequacy, will be considered as part of the multi-year spending review which will take place later this year.
