International Baccalaureate: Finance
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of the cut to funding the International Baccalaureate on students.
Answered by Josh MacAlister
The department will provide transitional protection funding to institutions facing a significant reduction in funding. From calculating the initial 2026/27 large programme uplift (LPU) for each institution, the department will look at how these compare with the LPU in the 2025/26 academic year.
Institutions providing the International Baccalaureate retain the freedom to continue doing so, regardless of the changes to the LPU.
