Answer

The next steps and implementation of the Five-Year Budget Strategy for Education are set out in section 5 of the Strategy document.

Since the Strategy was published on 4 February, a Programme Board has been established to oversee the delivery of reform at scale.

The public consultation concluded on 3 April 2026. A summary of the responses to the consultation have published on my department’s website.
