On 12th July, NFER’s Research Director Lisa Morrison-Coulthard appeared in front of the House of Commons Education Select Committee as part of their ongoing inquiry into the Future of Post-16 Qualifications. Lisa was joined by colleagues from the Association of Colleges, the Federation of Awarding Bodies, NCFE and Natspec.
The discussion focussed around the delivery and effectiveness of changes to Level 3 qualifications, particularly with regards to the introduction of T Levels. The skills gained from A Levels and T Levels, as well as routes to professional progression, was discussed, with both Lisa and the Chair of the Committee, Robert Halfon MP, highlighting NFER’s Skills Imperative project.
