Budget 2017: what were the key points for education?

By Michael Lemin, Policy and Research Manager, Thursday 09 March 2017

Chancellor Philip Hammond has delivered his first and last Spring Budget. As announced back in November, fiscal events will only take place in the autumn from now on. The Chancellor’s announcements included investing £320m into new free schools, £216m into the refurbishment of existing schools, and £500m into supporting the Post-16 Skills Plan.



North East based training provider, Learning Curve Group (LCG), is proud to announce a new addition to its suite of market-leading qualifications: NCFE CACHE Level 2 Certificate in Understanding Behaviour that Challenges (QRN:603/1062/5). LCG is the only training provider to offer this qualification, which will benefit individuals across several sectors, especially those within education and health and social care.



2017 marks the 10th National Apprenticeship Week and aims to bring together employers and apprentices from across the country to celebrate the success of apprenticeships, with the theme being ‘ladder of opportunity’. As always, this week presents a great opportunity to discuss the importance of apprenticeships, highlight their success over the last decade, and encourage more people to recognise them as a route to future success.
