Today, I am updating the House on the Government's work to transform further and higher education in response to global changes such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, green energy, and new technologies. The previous government undervalued colleges and technical education, leading to a decline in apprenticeship starts for young people. Our vision is a skills system that drives growth, is balanced and responsive, and reflects the evolving world of work. We are publishing our post-16 education and skills White Paper to seize opportunities, deliver economic growth, and empower communities. The strategy aims to fill skilled vacancies with top-quality training, introduce foundation apprenticeships and shorter courses in priority sectors funded by the growth and skills levy, invest £187 million for digital skills and AI learning, £182 million for engineering, £182 million for defence talent pipeline, and £625 million to train 60,000 more construction workers. We are also rolling out V-levels as a new vocational pathway alongside A-levels and T-levels. The Government is investing an additional £800 million for young people in colleges and sixth forms next year. Our ambition is for two-thirds of young people to pursue high-level learning, whether academic, technical or apprenticeships. We are introducing targeted maintenance grants for disadvantaged students funded by a levy on international student fees. Universities will work with colleges to offer level 4 and 5 qualifications. Tuition fee caps for higher education providers will increase in line with forecast inflation, and we will future-proof the maintenance loan offer by increasing it annually.
