Reforms to post-16 education announced almost two years ago are to be looked at by a former chief adviser on school standards.
Chancellor Jeremy Hunt said he had appointed Sir Michael Barber to advise on the implementation of the Government’s skills reform programme.
The Skills for Jobs White Paper was first announced in January 2021 by then-education secretary Gavin Williamson.
On Thursday, as part of the autumn statement, Mr Hunt said Sir Michael would advise both the Chancellor and Education Secretary Gillian Keegan on the reforms.
