Another success for #ProtectStudentChoice! Government decisions to retain essential BTECs in their rapid review of level 3 qualifications will be vital in delivering flexibility for students. https://t.co/MQNmQk3JZD https://t.co/OXhKbkCRGq pic.twitter.com/GSBxsyFX7S

Yes, for now - funding has been extended till the end of next academic year, July 2026. It seems exam boards will be expected to develop a new 'AAQ' version of the same qual for delivery after that.

Thank you @bphillipsonMP from the #ProtectStudentChoice campaign. This means: ➡️Providers have the choice to combine quals that are right for students ➡️Students have the choice to study high quality quals in H&SC/Science/IT ...which will boost social mobility & economic growth https://t.co/crZXF60L9d

It's good to see recognition that students should be able to choose from a range of qualifications - not just A levels and T levels. This is a win for the #ProtectStudentChoice campaignhttps://t.co/hsHJ2ACZGB

We're backing the #ProtectStudentChoice campaign against the scrapping of BTECs. This is a very positive intervention by the education committee and we hope the government will listen and take action to maintain a choice of qualifications for students.https://t.co/wu4ulQpbmH

Great to see support for the #ProtectStudentChoice campaign by way of a letter from the Education Committee, urging @educationgovuk not to defund post-16 AGQs. Govt should heed this & the campaign recommendations in their Level 3 qualifications review. https://t.co/fxeN2nFK6S

We are hopeful that ministers will listen to the evidence. The message from the panel this week, and the consistent message from students, schools, colleges, universities and employers could not be clearer: #ProtectStudentChoice - retain AGQs. @Jacqui_Smith1 @bphillipsonMP https://t.co/gtHZOjf7nv

The @educationgovuk should retain funding for Level 3 AGQs in key subjects, to provide some much-needed certainty to schools and colleges. More on the #ProtectStudentChoice campaign's recommendations for the Level 3 qualifications review here: https://t.co/yTkhftliFw https://t.co/Xm9wOUEhtu

At the @CommonsEd @SFCA_info's James Kewin sets out why scrapping BTECs would: ➡️Disadvantage the already disadvantaged ➡️Set back widening access to HE ➡️Torpedo gov plans to reduce NEETs#ProtectStudentChoice @Jacqui_Smith1 @bphillipsonMP Watch here: https://t.co/UFwUf4ARBl

There’s been ups (pre-election pause and review promise), downs (previous ministers digging their heels in) and the frankly bizarre (Gordon Brown) but all this could come to a head next week. Here’s @helenhayes_ last ditch plea to save BTECs and #ProtectStudentChoice https://t.co/wlZgvHF4If
