A Levels and T Levels will be combined into British Standard Qualification for 16- to -19-year-olds.
However, this is a long-term plan that the Government says will take a decade to deliver. The new Baccalaureate-style qualification will mean that students will study five subjects, including some English and maths to 18.
Rishi Sunak set out plans for the new qualification during his speech at the Conservative party conference in Manchester, saying it would bring together the best of A Levels and T Levels.
It would be ‘rigorous’ and ‘knowledge-rich’ and put technical qualifications and academic qualifications on an equal footing, he said.
