14-16s To Be Funded Directly For College From September 2013
"Further education (FE) colleges will be able to enrol 14- to 16-year-olds who wish to study high-quality vocational qualifications from September 2013. FE colleges will be able to set up their own "14 to 16 centres". The new Centres will offer a combination of high quality vocational and academic subjects and aim to attract students of all abilities who want early access to practical and technical education. http://www.education.gov.uk/inthenews/inthenews/a00218597/colleges-free-to-enrol-14-to-16-year-olds (13th December 2012) Read more here and here http://edyourself.org/news/index.php#14-16applydirecttocollegefrom2013 Local authorities will no longer be able to claim direct support grant funding from 2013. As a transitional measure, DfE will make arrangements to compensate authorities through 2013-14 for cases where they are supporting a home educated pupil in a college in academic year 2012/13 and were expecting to claim direct support grant for this in the 2013-14 financial year.
