Our ambition is to level up the skills of the entire nation and ensure that post-16 education providers are in a great shape to deliver this. We are considering how best to achieve this ambition and will announce details on future capital funding in due course. This will build on the significant uplift in recurrent funding for 16-19 education which we are putting in place for the 2020/21 academic year. Sixth form colleges and 16-19 academies currently receive annual devolved formula capital allocations and either receive the Schools Condition Allocation or bid to the Condition Improvement Fund for larger projects for their capital condition needs.
