Latest research carried out by the Association of Employment and Learning Providers (AELP), NOCN Group and the Skills and Education Group (SEG), shows that level 2 and below qualifications are massively valued by both employers and learners. The report – ‘Access to the Future’ – contains evidence that undermines justifications used in government proposals for qualification reform.
Launched in Parliament this week, at an event to celebrate AELP’s 20th anniversary, ‘Access to the Future’, is a new report on the worth and value of qualifications at level 2 and below. This significant new research was commissioned on the back of a Department for Education (DfE) consultation that could see funding removed from up to 85% of level 2 and below qualifications – rising to 90% of qualifications for young people.
