Adult Education: Kent

Asked by Mike MartinLiberal DemocratDepartment for EducationTabled Answered 25 February 2025UIN 31407

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what the value was of the Education and Skills Funding Agency Adult Education Budget allocated to Kent County Council in the (a) 2023-24 and (b) 2024-25 financial year; and what the allocation will be in the 2025-26 financial year.

Answered by Janet Daby

The Education and Skills Funding Agency awards adult education budget allocations on an annual basis. Allocations are based on an academic year rather than a financial year.

Allocations that span the 2023/24 and 2024/25 financial years have been published on GOV.UK.

‘Funding allocations to training providers: 2023 to 2024’ can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/funding-allocations-to-training-providers-2023-to-2024.

‘Funding allocations to training providers: 2024 to 2025’ can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/funding-allocations-to-training-providers-2024-to-2025.

Allocations for the 2025/26 academic year have not yet been finalised. The department expects to confirm these shortly.
