The exams watchdog is urging schools and colleges to submit evidence on delays to BTEC results this year as part of a review to stop it happening again.
Ofqual will launch a two-week call for evidence next week after delays which meant thousands of students did not receive their results on time this summer. The review is also examining delays to Cambridge Technical qualifications.
Jo Saxton, chief regulator, said it was “unacceptable” for students not to receive results “when they either legitimately expect them, or need them for the purpose of progression”.
In a letter to schools and colleges, seen by FE Week, Saxton said: “Please be assured that we are carrying out this review with the interests of students firmly in our sights, and that we will use the findings to take action to protect students who are expecting results in 2023.
