Department for Education written question – answered at on 16 October 2017.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how the adult education budget is calculated in London.
The adult education budget (AEB) is not allocated to specific areas. The Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) allocates AEB to individual providers, who under the current freedoms and flexibility policy are able to use their funds to support any English learners.
The ESFA publish allocations and these can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/sfa-funding-allocations-to-training-providers-2016-to-2017.
In 2016/17 the ESFA allocated £316 million to providers with a head office location in London.
Please note this data relates to head office location and is therefore not a measure of spend on residents of London.
