16-19 Funding Statement (Dec 2012) “In 2012/13 the YPLA is maintaining the demand-led funding formula without any changes” And in 2012/13 there will be no changes to SEN nor LDD funding But…. Index of Multiple Deprivation will be updated to calculate disadvantage uplift from the 2007 to the 2010 release (over 90% will feel impact of less than 1%) Transitional protection has been stretched over four years (until 2015/16) in equal instalments or at 3% per learner per year (which ever is the greater) = EFFICIENCIES NEEDED Consultation closed on 4th Jan regarding a new programme level 16-18 funding methodology to be introduced for 13/14

So what of 2012/13? Less funding, but quickly moved in single budget to those that can delivery priorities More ‘freedoms’ in form of colleges legally not being part of the Government estate Outcome Incentive Payment seem to have been scrapped/redefined…. Significant changes to entitlement (fee eligibility). L2 and L3 23 year olds and below No change to funding rates or methodology

Summary of the 2013/14 proposals First edition published in October This edition published last Thursday Contains non-apprenticeship rates Rules for Job Outcome Payments Shadow calculations to be in LIS Implementation for 2013/14
Rates ‘matrix’ Originally 30 incl. apprenticeships Now 40 excl. apprenticeships PWF of 1.92 retained for some providers Based on number of credits (learning time) In partnership with
Modelling the impact on rates Example 1 So if at top of the QCF credit band it’s a funding cut and at the bottom of the band it’s a funding rise
Other proposals Single earnings methodology = in-year delivery (no more provider factor) Both Disadvantage Uplift and Area Cost Uplift remain unchanged Achievement will be worth 20% of the funding Outcome Incentive Payments appear to have been scrapped Job Outcome Funding piloted as 10% when learner does not achieve (!) Funding to be capped at £4,400 (unweighted), down £176 (-4%) Colleges will continue to be paid on profile, subject to year-end reconciliation
Oh, and FE Loans ~ the plan All 24+ LR (classroom) and ER (workplace) funding L3+ to be funded out of loans allocation from 2013 E.g. Apprentice takes out the income contingent loan, and pays back 9% of all earnings above £21k + 3% RPI (written off after 30 years) Learners can start applying from March 2013 YOU liaise with Student Loans Company
Seems clear to me this is what the future holds, but for the well informed and responsive colleges this presents plenty of opportunity Will the FE funding future be… ~ More complicated ~ More competitive ~ More uncertain Or ~ Stable ~ Simple
