More Funding for University Technical Colleges



Today I asked a question to the Michael Gove, Secretary of State for Education, concerning Harlow's bid for a University Technical College (UTC).

Please read my question below:

Robert Halfon (Harlow): "The Education Secretary has won funding of more than £600Million for new Free-Schools. If there are enough good UTC bids, such as the bid from Harlow Hospital (Princess Alexandria Hospital), Anglo Ruskin University and Harlow College, would he consider using some of that £600Million to boost the number of new UTCs?"

Michael Gove (Secretary of State for Education): "Thanks to the generosity of the Chancellor of the Exchequer (George Osborne), and not thanks to any negotiation skills on my behalf, there are sufficient resources within the Department of Education budget, to support high quality University Technical College submissions. And it will be on the quality of the bids that a decision is made."
