The Government will offer Mayoral Combined Authorities the oppotunity to shape their Adult Education Budgets (AEBs) in 2018/19.
We are working closely with Mayoral Combined Authorities to help them prepare for devolution of the AEB in 2019/20, including the proposed 2018/19 transitional year.
The Mayoral Combined Authorities have been consulted with regards to the interim options available and the details of these will be communicated within the next few weeks.
