Funding for 16- to 18-year-olds and for general further education has been cut much more sharply than funding for schools, pre-school or higher education
Since 2010–11, funding per student aged 16–18 in further education (college based) has fallen by 8% in real terms and is now at about the same level as during the late 2000s
Funding per student in school sixth forms has fallen by 21% since its peak in 2010–11, and remains lower than at any point since at least 2002–03
Funding for adult education (anybody 19 or over) has been cut by 45% since 2009–10
The overall number of 19+ learners has “fallen substantially”, from 4.7 million in 2004 to 2.2 million in 2016
Spending on further education and skills fell by £3.3bn in real terms between 2010-11 and 2017-18
In 2017 £57m of emergency funding was provided to help colleges in England
Executive pay in colleges can be as much as 10 times that of a tutor
The CEO of Gateshead College earned £344,000 salary in 2018
12 colleges pay their CEOs salaries of more than £200,000 salary
Between 2010 and 2017 more than 23,000 posts have been lost in FE colleges in England, amounting to a third of the teaching staff overall

Labour would introduce free, lifelong education in Further Education (FE) colleges, enabling everyone to upskill or retrain at any point in life
Labour would abandon Conservative plans to once again reinvent the wheel by building new technical colleges, redirecting the money to increase teacher numbers in the FE sector
Labour will improve careers advice and open up a range of routes through, and back into, education, striking a balance between classroom and on-the-job training, to ensure students gain both technical and soft skills
Bring funding for 16 to 18-year-olds in line with Key Stage 4 baselines, while ensuring that the budget is distributed fairly between colleges and school sixth forms

Increase capital investment to equip colleges to deliver T-levels and an official pre-apprenticeship trainee programme
Maintain the apprenticeship levy while taking measures to ensure high quality by requiring the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education to report on an annual basis to the Secretary of State on quality outcomes of completed apprenticeships
Set a target to double the number of completed apprenticeships at NVQ level 3 by 2022
Give employers more flexibility in how the levy is deployed, including allowing the levy to be used for pre-apprenticeship programmes
Guarantee trade union representation in the governance structures of the Institute of Apprenticeships
Protect the £440 million funding for apprenticeships for small and medium-sized employers who don’t pay the levy
Set targets to increase apprenticeships for people with disabilities, care leavers and veterans, and ensure broad representation of women, BAME, LGBT and people with disabilities in all kinds of apprenticeships
Consult on introducing incentives for large employers to over-train numbers of apprentices to fill skills gaps in the supply chain and the wider sector
Reverse cuts to Unionlearn
