Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps he is taking to ensure that Uni Connect receives its funding on time for the financial year 20220-23.
The Uni Connect programme’s annual funding allocation is made within the available Strategic Priorities Grant, and as such is subject to annual review and decision-making, with due regard for general duties, the public sector equality duty, and statutory guidance. We will shortly be issuing guidance to the Office for Students on priorities for the Strategic Priorities Grant for financial year 2022/23.
