The leaders of 29 education and employer groups have written to the recently-appointed Secretary of State for Education Gillian Keegan to express their concern about the government’s plan to scrap many BTEC qualifications.
The letter was sent as the Department for Education prepares to launch the next phase of its Review of Post-16 Qualifications at Level 3 , in which many applied general qualifications such as BTECs will be removed to make way for a system where most young people study either A levels or a T level (a new technical qualification) at the age of 16.
