Proceeding contribution from Bridget Phillipson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 20 October 2025. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Post-16 Education and Skills Strategy.
Post-16 Education and Skills Strategy
As I said, next year, we will invest £800 million extra in 16-to-19 funding. We have sought to refocus the large programme uplift that sits alongside that investment on maths and STEM for those studying four or more A-levels, because we think that is important for our industrial strategy priorities, but there will be transitional protections for those schools affected. Students will still be able to study for the IB, and schools will be welcome and able to offer it through the funding streams they receive.
