Ministers have confirmed plans to axe scores of level 3 courses taken by over 17,000 students that compete with the latest batch of “gold-standard” T Levels.
In May, the government published a provisional list of 92 courses, including popular BTECs, that would be defunded from 2025 where they “overlap” with wave three of T Levels, which includes business and administration, legal, finance and accounting and engineering and manufacturing qualifications.
Awarding bodies were given the opportunity to appeal the decisions, but the Department for Education revealed today that none were successful.
The final list, published today, names 85 qualifications that will now be defunded.
