The Education Funding Agency (EFA) is responsible for the funding of 16-19 provision in academies, general further education colleges, sixth-form colleges and independent provision. The EFA also distributes resources to local authorities for them to pass on to those schools that are not academies.
Our objectives include allocating 16-19 revenue funding and learner support budgets to providers accurately and on time, maintaining and developing funding systems for 16-19 education and for learners with learning difficulties and/or disabilities up to age 25, ensuring general funding compliance and tendering and funding the youth contract allocations for disengaged 16- and 17-year-olds.
