SIR NICHOLAS'S QUESTION ON HAYWARDS HEATH SIXTH FORM COLLEGE

11th December 2017

Sir Nicholas’s question to the Secretary of State for Education about Haywards Heath Sixth Form College as a perfect location for a STEM College. Education Questions, House of Commons, Monday, 11th December, 2017

My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State will be aware of the excellent support that we have been given in Haywards Heath by the Minister for Apprenticeships and Skills, my right hon. Friend the Member for Guildford (Anne Milton), in helping to reopen the sadly closed Haywards Heath sixth-form college. Does the Secretary of State realise that that college would be the perfect location for a STEM college in south-east England?

My right hon. Friend raises an interesting proposal, and I am pleased that he is working so effectively with the Minister for Apprenticeships and Skills. We need not only to improve our investment in STEM, but to change young people’s perceptions of STEM so that they can see what a fascinating career can lie ahead after doing STEM subjects at A-level and, critically, STEM degrees. That is how we can steadily continue to change the situation for the better.
