will have the task of setting out more about how we get there, and key to his plans will be what the government is selling as a skills revolution. rishi sunak will announce £1.5 billion for t levels in england for up to 100,000 young people to train for vocational qualifications. there will be £500 million for adult skills too and more than £800 million to revitalise colleges in england. the government argues the plans will give people the skills they need to get on in life. all students, whatever they are doing, whether it be technical education or academic education, or somewhere in between, deserve to have their education properly funded so we hope this new story, which focuses on technical education, is one part of the announcements that will come out over the course of the next few days. we hope the government will find the means to address the needs of the vast majority of young people to study a levels or btec qualifications.
of everything going up, not least gas and electricity bills. when we pay our gas and electricity bills, 5% of that money goes automatically to the taxman. there is something very simple the government could do. it would be immediate and felt automatically on people s bills next month and that is to cut the rate of vat from 5% to 0%. ministers are to formalise their committment to a skills revolution in england, with a series of measures to be unveiled in the chancellor s budget on wednesday. in his statement, rishi sunak will announce £1.6 billion to roll out new t levels for teenagers and £550 million for adult skills. college leaders say the funding is welcome, but doesn t go far enough. here s our political correspondent, nick eardley. what we want to see is a high wage, high skill economy. the government says it wants to change the way the uk economy works, moving to a higher skilled, more productive workforce which earns more money.
the damage. the government s spent billions on the furlough scheme and other support for families and businesses in the past 18 months. many expected the chancellor to rein that in, but it seems the purse strings may still be loose. children, schools, skills, all of these things, policing and crime, you will see investment across the board in public services, because that s what we were elected to deliver and that s what we are getting on and doing. rishi sunak s already promised 5.4 billion for the nhs this winter. now he s pledged 1.6 billion for new vocational qualifications called t levels and half a billion for adult skills, but there s questions over whether these announcements are as generous as suggested. some of the funding has been announced previously. and all that money will do little to help families this winter. many are facing what labour describes as a cost of living crisis , because of high energy prices and a rise in the cost of basics like food.
