To ask the Secretary of State for Education, pursuant to the Answer of 6 July 2020 to Question 64956, what estimate his Department has made of how much per pupil the £35 million funding equates to for pupils without a GCSE in (a) maths and (b) English at grade 4 or above.

Asked by:
Karin Smyth (Labour)

From academic year 2020/21, we are providing an additional £35 million to providers of 16-19 education for students on substantial Level 3 programmes who have not yet attained a GCSE grade 9 to 4 (or equivalent) in maths and/or English. For students on two year programmes, providers will receive additional funding at a rate of £750 for each subject in which a student does not hold a GCSE pass grade. For students on one year programmes, the provider is funded at a rate of £375 per student per subject.
