The ESFA have issued an update on the 2018 to 2019 adult education budget (AEB) and 19-24 traineeships funding over delivery. They state that they remain committed to fund 3% of delivery above AEB allocations at the end of the 2018 to 2019 funding year. In addition, they will fund an increase of up to 50% in 19-24 traineeships delivery at the end of the funding year. They say that they will only fund traineeships delivery above 103% of AEB allocations, if providers increase their proportion of 19-24 traineeships delivery between their R08 data return/mid-year claim, and the end of the year and that they will not fund an increase in non-traineeships delivery.
