• Where appropriate students will also take part in work experience

Funding per student

16-19 education was funded…Qualification by qualification• Funding is unfit to support RPA• Wolf found there to be perverse

incentives which didn’t help raise standards

• System is very complex and opaque

16-19 education will be funded…student by student• Increased focus on providing the

student with a holistic study programme which will get them into university or work

• All students receive same basic level of funding

• Enables and supports a simple and transparent funding system

• Subject to A level and GSE reform

Challenges for Derby College/Curriculum Planning

?Key Challenges for Curriculum Planning/Resource Planning for Derby College

in order to meet the revised Funding Methodology for 16-19 provision?

Skills Funding Agency

Cuts in the public Sector• Introduction of 24+ Advanced Learning Loans (Level 3 or 4) in

order to share the burden with the individual• Reductions in Adult Skills Budget• Focus on Local Priorities• Get Employers to PAY MORE!!! (Or at all!)

Introduction of a simplified Funding Methodology• Employer/provider confusion of multiple funding

rates/multiple funding streams• Funding earned 80% on-programme, 20% upon achievement,

qualification by qualification and no longer on a provider factor.

Challenges• Encouraging more Apprenticeships in a Difficult Economy• Diversification of Income and collection of more tuition fees
