Part 7: Post-16 Education and Training

Abolition of the Young People’s Learning Agency for England

Section 66: Abolition of the Young People’s Learning Agency for England

323.Section 66 repeals the provisions in ASCLA 2009 that established the Young People's Learning Agency for England (the YPLA), an arm’s length body. The section therefore abolishes the YPLA and its functions will be discharged by the Secretary of State. The Government intends that the functions will be carried out by a non-statutory agency within the Department for Education, as proposed in The Importance of Teaching: the Schools White Paper (2010).
