(2) how much of their standard spending assessment the statistical neighbours of Kent Education Authority have allocated to post-16 education between 1997–98 and 2000–01 (a) in absolute terms and (b) per pupil. [128744]

This information is not available. Local education authorities allocate funding to schools using various factors and there is no separate post-16 component to mirror that used in the standard spending assessment process. Furthermore, central spending by the LEA on secondary education is not separately analysed into pre-16 and post-16 components.
