Dear colleagues
The review of post-16 qualifications at level 3 and below, alongside the development of T Levels, is central to building a world class education system. The review aims to simplify and streamline the current system to ensure that all qualifications approved for funding to have a distinct purpose and be necessary, support progression to good outcomes and be high quality.
Our first stage consultation is currently open and closes on 10 June 2019; details are available here: https://consult.education.gov.
We are keen to engage with a wide range of stakeholders and gather as many views and inputs as possible. Therefore, as part of the first stage consultation, we would like to invite you to one of five events that we are holding around the country to discuss the review and share your thoughts and opinions. We appreciate this is short notice and apologise in advance for any inconvenience caused.
