Education Secretary Gavin Williamson has announced an extra £120 million to open an Institute of Technology in every part of the country.

Speaking at the Conservative Party conference, Williamson said a total of 20 Institute of Technologies would be opened, so that there is one in each major city.
 
Williamson said: "IoT's are providing university-level technical qualifications, and the sector-specific skills that are most-needed in their local economies.

"They have the potential to transform high-level technical education, bringing together FE colleges, universities and employers.

Williamson added: "We will make sure every young person in every part of our country, gets the chance to gain the high level technical skills that they, and we, need."
