Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how much funding from the Flexible Learning Fund has been allocated to projects in the East Midlands.

The Flexible Learning Fund pilot is designed to address barriers relating to the ‘supply side’ of learning by supporting organisations to develop and test flexible and accessible ways of delivering learning for adults with low or intermediate level technical skills or who lack basic skills.

Projects led by organisations that are based and deliver in the East Midlands have a combined current allocation of £518,643.

Projects proposing nationwide delivery that constituents in the East Midlands will be able to access have a combined current allocation of £782,615. Projects that have identified the East Midlands as a potential delivery area or have proposed delivery partners in the East Midlands have a combined current allocation of £2,933,810.
