Colleges need extra £570m due to rise in students, the Institute for Fiscal Studies

Colleges and sixth forms in England need an extra £570m to keep pace with the rising number of students, says the Institute for Fiscal Studies .The IFS says funding for 16-to-18 learning fell in real terms by 11% in colleges and 25% in schools since 2010.

But the IFS says with student numbers growing by 5% in 2020 alone, this restores funding back to 2018-19 levels, at best. The researchers point out that the rate of 16 and 17-year-olds in full-time education had already risen to an historical high of 85% in 2020. At the same time, the number of 16 and 17-year-olds doing apprenticeships fell to an all-time low of 3% in 2020 - with a 30% fall in numbers in 2020 alone. This reflects both the effects of the pandemic and a gradual reduction in take-up over the long term, according to the research.
