T levels have a valuable role to play, but as @NAOorguk reports today, student numbers are set to remain low. It is therefore vital to retain medium and large AGQs such as BTECs to avoid students falling through a qualifications gap. #ProtectStudentChoicehttps://t.co/xpKaxemjfl

"T levels represent a vital opportunity...but they are not right for everyone". Following today's@NAOorguk report on T levels, we hope that@educationgovuk will allow medium and large AGQs to co-exist with T levels. See our full response below:https://t.co/8GfjXoLMjV

There was a welcome commitment in the CAR interim report to identify the quals that are needed alongside A levels & T levels. The leaders of the #ProtectStudentChoice coalition believe this should include applied quals in T level routes. Read letter here: https://t.co/Q5AwXqM9rK

Coverage of letter from #ProtectStudentChoice campaign to CAR in today's @FEweek: "...many students successfully combine a diploma-size AGQ with an A-level to reach higher education or skilled employment". It is really important to retain this option. https://t.co/YKyCzp0wPF

We agree - a dose of realism is needed with #Tlevels - they should complement #BTECs, not replace them.#ProtectStudentChoice https://t.co/LZIKoyaOS3

An excellent piece - @SusannaRustin is right to call for a dose of realism on T levels. The #ProtectStudentChoice remains concerned that many students will be left without a pathway if BTECs are scrapped. T levels should complement, not replace, BTECs.https://t.co/qw1lvsstp1

A cracking read. For far too long, policymakers of all stripes have tinkered with the supply of skills (qualifications, structures & targets) as opposed to focusing on stimulating the demand for, utilisation of and investment in skills.https://t.co/7sk0okbeaR
