Question: How can I find out the budget for continuing education online for adults

Answer passage (source: UK):
page_title: Guidance Maintaining education and skills training provision: further education providers
section_headers: Adult education budget (AEB) and advanced learner loans bursary contract for services
Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA), adult education budget (AEB) funding (grant funded providers) and advanced learner loans bursary fund
section_content: Year-end reconciliation
For 2019 to 2020 only, the ESFA will not carry out the final reconciliation
for grant funded providers in receipt of ESFA funded AEB (adult skills,
community learning, learner and learning support and 19 to 24 traineeships)
and the advanced learner loans bursary fund. These providers will be funded in
line with the current agreement schedule with no clawback.
Providers must:

continue to deliver learning online wherever possible including for ESFA funded AEB via existing subcontracting arrangements to support existing learners to successfully complete their courses/qualifications or retain evidence where this is not possible
support furloughed workers to enhance existing or develop new skills

Where it is not possible to deliver online, for example where learning
requires physical access to specialist equipment or materials, providers
should keep and provide records of where this applies and keep evidence of
efforts made to remain in contact with learners and prepare them for a return
to learning in the future.
However, there will be exceptions for grant funded providers who had already
forecast significant under-delivery in their mid-year returns for ESFA funded
AEB and/or advanced learner loans bursary fund, in advance of the impact of
coronavirus (COVID-19). ESFA will contact affected providers to discuss their
forecasts and potential clawback. We also reserve the right to clawback funds
where it can be demonstrated that a grant funded provider has not sought to
continue delivery wherever possible online or otherwise, either directly or
for ESFA funded AEB through their existing subcontractors.
When planning ESFA funded AEB allocations for 2021 to 2022, we will consider
how we set a fair baseline given our default position would have been to use
funded delivery in 2019 to 2020.

This is about rules for organizations getting funding. It does not say anything about the actual budget.

page_title: Guidance Maintaining education and skills training provision: further education providers
section_headers: Adult education budget (AEB) and advanced learner loans bursary contract for services
section_content: For providers funded through a contract for service for AEB and Advanced
Learner Loans Bursary, we will remove the financial year controls set out in
the funding and performance management rules for 2019 to
2020.
This means we will pay any over delivery in the August 2019 to March 2020
period by utilising the April 2020 to August 2020 period funding, up to the
full 12 month contract value. The commitment to fund delivery up to 103% of
adult skills and 110% of traineeships contract values will still apply over
the full funding year.

Devolved AEB
section_content: From 1 August 2019, the AEB is apportioned between the ESFA and 6 mayoral
combined authorities (MCAs) and the Greater London Authority (GLA) and the
ESFA is no longer accountable for administering AEB in those devolved areas.
The MCA or GLA will be responsible for agreeing arrangements with their
providers in respect of devolved AEB.
[AEB]: adult education budget
  [ESFA]: Education Skills Funding Agency
  [MCAs]: mayoral combined authorities
  [GLA]: Greater London Authority
