How much money has been spent on the aspects of the Seren scheme that support and encourage students to study at institutions beyond Wales, rather than those institutions in Wales that are part of the scheme, since 2018?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Education and the Welsh Language
The Seren Academy supports and empowers the most able learners in Wales to have the ambition, capability, and curiosity to fulfil their potential and excel in their future educational goals at the highest level. Since 2018, £1,168,103.02 has been spent on supporting our learners to engage with high tariff universities and prepare them for the admission tests and applications required. This is 9% of the total Seren budget.
