Some welcome details on capital for colleges, 16-19 growth, investment in Level 3 for adults & higher tech too. Modest but steps forward. Nothing on adult rates or TPS grants

@NickLinford @DavidRussellETF @educationgovuk @SteveHewittMIS The lack of investment and lack of impetus to develop outcome metrics are clearly linked -why invest in measuring something you are not going to buy! But what a bargain you would get if you did bother.

Charles Searle @Ofstednews speaking @HOLEXPolicy - ACL providers performance is good and improving. But no room for complacency.
