Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what plans he has to consult with organisations from the higher education, further education and school sectors on the forthcoming recommendations of the post-18 education and funding review.

The independent panel has undertaken an extensive programme of engagement with stakeholders and experts as part of the post-18 education and funding review – including a call for evidence that received over 400 responses. The government will continue to engage with stakeholders, including organisations from the higher education, further education and school sectors, to ensure it delivers a post-18 education system that is joined up and supported by a funding system that works for students and taxpayers.
