The Government's new system for funding adult and further education came into effect on 1 April.
The Skills Funding Agency (SFA) will now be responsible for funding and regulating adult and further education and skills in England. The SFA will manage the four key routes into education and training for adults:
Commenting on the establishment of the SFA, Kevin Brennan MP, Minister for Further Education said: "It has never been more imporant to make sure the right people have the right skills to get into new industries and get on in their careers... This flexible new system will drive forward devlopment of new skills at all levels. It will respond to changing demand from employers and learners in the years ahead, and reinforce the freedom of colleges to direct funding to where it is needed most."
The new Young People's Learning Agency (YPLA) has also taken on its responsbilities for 16-19 year old provision.
