Question to the Department for Education:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to introduce legislation in this Parliament relating to education; and when they expect any such legislation to be introduced.

As set out in the Queen’s Speech, this government is committed to ensuring that all young people have access to an excellent education, unlocking their full potential and preparing them for the world of work.

We have already laid legislation this Parliament requiring local authorities to provide every secondary school with at least £5,000 per pupil next year, and every primary school with at least £3,750 per pupil. This will support the lowest funded schools across the country so that all schools are able to provide an excellent education for their pupils.

We have also laid legislation to introduce, from August 2020, the new entitlement to fully funded digital qualifications for adults with no or low digital skills.
