To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if she will make an estimate of the number of (a) further and (b) higher education courses that have been discontinued in England in the last two years.

The government’s qualifications reforms are designed to ensure that qualifications at level 3 and below are necessary, high quality, and have a clear purpose. A levels and T Levels should be at the heart of level 3 study programmes going forward. We do allow for other small, alternative academic qualifications in strategically important areas, and additional technical qualifications in areas not covered by T Levels, in specialist occupations and in cross cutting areas, such as health and safety. Our new system places the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education occupational standards at the heart of technical education, because these have been designed by employers and will give young people the knowledge, skills and behaviours that employers need.
The number of further education qualifications from which the department has removed funding approval in the last two years is 5,768 (2021/22 and 2022/23 funding years).
This includes qualifications where funding approval has been removed as a result of the qualification having no or low publicly funded demand, or where qualifications have been reformed and newer qualifications developed in their place, for instance the introduction of new Essential Digital Skills Qualifications, which replaced older ICT qualifications.
This does not cover where an awarding organisation decides to discontinue one of its qualifications or where a college, or other education and training provider, decides to stop offering a qualification.
The department has not removed funding approval from any higher-level qualifications in the last two years.
Where the department intends to remove funding approval from qualifications, further education (FE) colleges or other education and training providers are made aware through the publication and communication of initial lists of qualifications in scope. There is a process for awarding organisations to appeal the decision to remove funding approval, and FE colleges or other education and training providers are encouraged to work with awarding organisations to submit evidence for appeals.
It is also important to point out that the department has and continues to consult on broader qualifications reform with colleges and other education and training providers.
In the last two funding years, 450 arts qualifications and 36 science qualifications have had funding approval removed. 5,282 other vocational and technical qualifications have also had funding approval removed during this period.

Information on the incomes of part-time students during and after their studies can be accessed through a variety of sources.
The Student Income and Expenditure Survey (SIES) 2011/12 measured the income during the academic year[1] from continuous jobs held by part-time students; that is a job that the student had before the start of the academic year and that was likely to continue until after the end of the academic year. The statistics can be found in Table 3.9 at the link below. The next iteration, SIES 2014/15 will be published in early 2016.
The Higher Education Statistics Agency’s (HESA) Destination of Leavers from Higher Education (DLHE) data collection, and their follow-up Longitudinal Destination of Leavers from Higher Education (LDLHE) survey, measures the incomes of part-time graduates six months and forty months (3.5 years) after graduating.

Student Loans for Tuition Fees have been available to part-time students meeting eligibility criteria since the academic year 2012/13. The earliest these borrowers may reach their Statutory Repayment Due Date (SRDD) for their loans is April 2016. After April 2016 Student Loans Company (SLC) statistics on Income Contingent Loan Repayments by Cohort will include part-time borrowers and show how many students are earning in excess of the £21,000 threshold and therefore making student loan repayments. The latest statistics, which refer primarily to full-time loan borrowers, are available in Table 3 at the following link:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills what assessment he has made of the likely effects of the announcement in spending round 2013, Cm 8639, that the resource accounting budget for higher education student loans will increase to £4.4 billion in 2015-16.

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills what assessment he has made of the likely effects of the announcement in spending round 2013, Cm 8639, that the resource accounting budget for higher education student loans will increase to £4.4 billion in 2015-16.
[162984]
The BIS student loan resource accounting budget (RAB) falls outside the ONS definition of PSCB (public sector current budget). The student loan resource accounting budget is used to ensure control over the long-term costs of the student loan book, but does not directly impact the fiscal aggregates.
The resource accounting budget for FY2015-16 of £4.4 billion is not directly comparable with the FY2014-15 baseline figure of £2.9 billion set in 2010, because of changes since 2010 including the following:
macroeconomic conditions, which have increased the RAB charge to around 35%;
increases to repayments thresholds since 2010;
the introduction of further education loans since 2010.
The total outlay on student loans will increase between FY2014-15 and FY2015-16 as a result of a higher proportion of students being eligible for higher fee loans. Decisions have not yet been taken on rates of tuition and maintenance loans in academic year 2015/16.

The Government has been very clear about the importance of widening participation and improving fair access in higher education—all those with the ability should have access to higher education, irrespective of family income.
The Government is establishing a new framework, with increased responsibility placed on universities to widen participation. This includes arrangements for annual access agreements. Universities plan to spend over £670 million in 2016/17 on measures to widen participation through their access agreements.
To make sure that we're doing everything possible to widen participation and promote fair access BIS Ministers asked the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) and the Office for Fair Access (OFFA) to develop a shared strategy for access and student success which will include advice to ensure we achieve the maximum impact from spending by Government, HEFCE and institutions. HEFCE and OFFA are due to deliver the strategy in autumn 2013. An interim report was published on 7 March 2013.
Data about the National Scholarship Programme (NSP) submitted to HEFCE by institutions have shown that approximately 35,000 students are expected to receive
an award during 20012/13. Around £69 million is expected to be delivered in the form of fee waivers, £21 million through cash bursaries, £2 million on free or discounted foundation years, and £29 million on discounted accommodation and other institutional support. Students have a choice over how they receive the remaining £10 million.
Independent evaluation has shown that there is a low awareness of the NSP. In addition, it was found to have limited impact on students' decision making because funding is not generally guaranteed at the point of application to university. From 2015/16, the Government will refocus the National Scholarship Programme to support postgraduate students from disadvantaged backgrounds. The £50 million fund will be administered by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE). HEFCE will allocate the money competitively to higher education institutions, and will attract additional scholarship funding from the private sector or from the institutions' own resources.

In 2011, Rothschild produced a report to analyse potential options for the future of the Income Contingent Repayment (ICR) student loan book. Following further feasibility work, this Department has now started to prepare for a sale of the pre-Browne loan book, as part of the Government's asset sales programme announced on 27 June 2013.
As this policy is still in development, the 2011 report contains and future reports will contain commercially sensitive information that could damage the value for money Government can achieve from a sale process, and so should not be disclosed at this point.

The Government received proposals in 2011 from its advisers that the cap on interest rates on student loans should be removed as part of a possible sale of the loan book. The proposal was dismissed two years ago and will not be taken forward by this Government.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills what estimate he has made of the number of accepted undergraduate students enrolled in 2012-13 who received credit and advanced standing as a result of credit earned in other higher education institutions in previous years.

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills what estimate he has made of the number of accepted undergraduate students enrolled in 2012-13 who received credit and advanced standing as a result of credit earned in other higher education institutions in previous years.
[159711]
There are no data available to inform such an estimate. It is for individual higher education institutions to determine whether and how they use academic credit and the extent to which they accept
credit earned in other higher education institutions. We understand however that the majority of institutions use the “Higher education credit framework for England” to align credit values for their programmes.
I am grateful for the Minister’s answer to my hon. Friend the Member for Walsall South (Valerie Vaz), but perhaps I could press him to go further specifically in relation to the potential moving of the Medical Research Council’s budget to the Department of Health. He will be aware that the chief executive of the Association of Medical Research Charities has described the proposed move as a “fudge” that will threaten the independence of medical research in this country. Does the Minister still believe in the Haldane principle, and if so, will he commit to keep the Medical Research Council under his Department’s control to ensure that it remains free of political interference?

I am happy to give the assurance that we are committed to the Haldane principle and it is important that medical research remains subject to it. That is essential for all parts of the science family. I can do no better than repeat the Chancellor’s assurance that we will make sure that the money is not used for other things, and that if there is any change the vital, basic research that the MRC carries out is not jeopardised.

However, the Government is firmly committed to improving the information available about higher education through the key information set and other initiatives,
and is in favour of transparency on who applies to and who attends higher education.

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills (1) what estimate he has made of the number of student places which were unfilled out of those allocated in the margin in the 2012-13 academic year;

The estimated number of unfilled places is shown in the following table:
| Award
of places through the 2012-13
margin | Number
of margin places not
filled | |
| Higher
education
institutions | 9,600 | 4,200 |
| Further
education
colleges | 10,400 | 2,800 |
| Total | 20,000 | 7,000 |
| Note: Figures are shown to the nearest hundred. |
The number of margin places not filled totals around 7,000, out of 20,000 places awarded. Some institutions were expected to recruit less than their allocation to compensate for over-recruitment in previous years. We expect there to be more full-time undergraduate students in higher education this year than in any year before 2010.
