Summary

The Education Committee held an inquiry that examined how effectively post-16, level 3 education and qualifications (such as A Levels, T Levels, BTECs and apprenticeships) prepare young people for the world of work. This consultation ran until January 2022. The Committee considered the Government’s current work and proposals in this area and looked at whether an alternative model, which enables a greater blend of academic and vocational pathways, should be explored.
