Business, Innovation and Skills written question – answered at on 15 July 2013.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills what funding was allocated to York College by the Skills Funding Agency and the Young People's Learning Agency in (a) cash and (b) real terms in each year since 2010-11.
The Skills Funding Agency is responsible for the allocation of funding to further education colleges for post 19 education and training, and for apprenticeships for people aged 16 and over. The Young People's Learning Agency has been replaced by the Education Funding Agency (EFA) which provides funding for education for learners between the ages of three and 19. The following tables provide the information requested.
Real terms figures: These figures have been calculated using HM Treasury deflators at 2012/13 prices, last updated
Table 1 details the allocation of funding to York College from the Young People Learning Agency (YPLA) and the Education Funding Agency (EFA) since 2010/11. Funding is based on historic student numbers, therefore when student numbers fall the funding allocation will also fall. It is this figure that the EFA uses to calculate transitional protection and funding formula protection. These additional funding elements are used to protect a college's funding allocation when new funding methodologies and policies are introduced.
