Will DfE & @IFAteched respond to the need for more UK trained talent by increasing apprenticeship fnding rates after urging reduced HMT levy top-slicing? - "Suella Braverman set to target migrants by increasing salary threshold" mol.im/a/12631813

After this week's comment from @SeemaMalhotra1 @nichola_hay & @TheIFS on the levy, my blog last November called for the 10% top-up and levy transfer to be scrapped. But "hard choices" still remain - see below.

Ofsted are making progress towards their aim of inspecting all providers by 2025. Over 90 ITPs/employer providers were recently inspected and rated good or better - including @remittraining, @AlthausDigital and @ttetrainingltd who received outstanding grades. Congratulations!

@RemitSueP All good thanks. Let’s have lunch soon to celebrate your Ofsted and your OBE!

Delighted to see our colleagues at @RemitTraining achieve #Outstanding in their @Ofstednews inspection, great recognition for a job well done & good news for the FE sector. #Congratulations @RemitSueP @RemitRobF & the team 🏆

With more providers in financial difficulties, the sector is facing huge challenges. @AELPUK has been clear that the warning signs have been there for some time with providers also scaling back. This will have a direct impact on the availability & choice of learners & employers

"An announcement on remedial action since promises on funding were made in early November cannot be delayed any longer", writes @RemitSueP
