Overall, as part of the Skills for Jobs White Paper, we outline our ambitions for a simplified and better targeted funding system. We want to create a simpler funding system that gives individuals access to high-quality education and training throughout their lives, ensures providers receive coherent and transparent funding, and enables the delivery of the skills our economy needs at both national and local level, providing value for money for the taxpayer and levelling up across the country. Our forthcoming consultation will explore how funding can be allocated in a simpler way and will explore how providers should be held accountable for the outcomes achieved with that funding to ensure value for money for the taxpayer, while maintaining autonomy and reducing administrative burdens.
