The DfE commissioned Ipsos UK, in partnership with the Education Policy Institute (EPI), to undertake an independent evaluation of the 16-19 Tuition Fund for the 2021/22 academic year. This fund was part of the government’s education recovery programme following the COVID-19 pandemic. The evaluation of the 16-19 Tuition Fund included an implementation and process evaluation (IPE) as well as an impact evaluation. This report details the findings of the IPE, which aimed to answer the following three questions:
1. How has the Tuition Fund been used by institutions?
2. How has the Tuition Fund been supporting eligible students?
3. How can the Tuition Fund be improved for future years?
