We are increasing funding to improve participation for 16 to 19 year olds, introducing T-Levels, investing in further education (FE) and providing support for college improvement.

The Office for Students and Ofsted hold higher education and FE providers to account for delivering quality and successful outcomes.

The Teaching Excellence and Student Outcomes Framework incentivises quality teaching, and new digital tools support student choice.
