Are ministers clear on the difference between technical and applied general qualifications? asks James Kewin
It was fantastic to see so many MPs at last night’s parliamentary debate on the future of BTEC qualifications.
The debate was triggered after the #ProtectStudentChoice petition secured 108,349 signatures earlier this year.
Despite the intense heat and political drama elsewhere in Westminster, MPs from all parties made a compelling case for the government to rethink its plan to scrap the majority of applied general qualifications such as BTECs.
