Lifelong Learning Entitlement: Fylde
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what estimate she has made of the number of learners in Fylde constituency who will be eligible for maintenance support under the LLE.
Answered by Josh MacAlister
The department has made no estimate of the number of eligible learners in the Fylde constituency for maintenance support under the Lifelong Learning Entitlement (LLE).
As part of this government’s Plan for Change, we want to provide opportunity to people at all stages of life, regardless of their background. This is why we are extending the maintenance support for learners as part of the LLE.
Under the LLE, maintenance loans will be available for all eligible courses and modules that require in-person attendance and will be extended to support more part-time study options below level 6. This represents a significant change, and improvement, from the current student finance system.
