In December the DfE published outcomes of the review of post-16 qualification reform at Level 3. The review found that both students and employers need a simpler range of high-quality qualifications, which provide them with the skills they need. This review confirms decisions up 2027 and the Curriculum and Assessment Review will focus on qualifications in the longer term, the commitment remains to considering how young people are prepared for life and work.
Key findings of the review include:
The government will move away from blanket restrictions and rules, such defunding qualifications which overlap with T Levels.
The government will not tell providers and students which types of qualifications can and cannot be mixed together. Colleges and sixth forms will still be able to work with students to determine the most appropriate curriculum.
