Interrogating what it means to use and respect evidence in education, and for research evidence to take account of what happens in colleges, is Dr Phil Kirkman from @AngliaRuskin. #sfcaconf pic.twitter.com/rFE7nqr2OF

After a break we’re hearing from Martin, principal at @StCharlesSFC in London which has had a remarkable journey over the last few years including an innovative ‘5-day week, 4-day academic curriculum’ model allowing teachers to WFH #sfcaconf pic.twitter.com/ICbyOJG3uS

Glimmers of hope too for double A level size BTECs: the minister says the problem is with triples competing directly with T levels. Current policy is that double AAQs are not allowed in any subject where there is a T level. #protectstudentchoice

@Jacqui_Smith1 says, in response to many qs on the future of AGQs, that internal DfE modelling shows about 10% of students are suited to T levels. Looking forward to working with her to ensure the 'third way' of BTECs/other AGQs can continue to serve the 40% #protectstudentchoice

The minister also addresses the recruitment and retention issues, as well as industrial action, which have affected SFCs this year, and emphasises that the govt has chosen to target all £300m announced in the Budget for FE to 16-19 and #raisetherate next year.

Baroness Smith tells us that T levels are here to stay and are finally the rigorous, standards-based, and exciting technical equivalent to A levels we need to help plug skills shortages. #sfcaconf

Delighted to be hearing from skills minister @Jacqui_Smith1 today, a former teacher and parent at @WSFC_Official. We certainly share the government's aspiration to make the country a place "where excellence is a given, not just something for the most fortunate." pic.twitter.com/jwLlFsMxA5

In our latest episode, James Kewin from @SFCA_info explained why so many young people could have their education disrupted by changes to vocational and technical qualifications in our schools and colleges. Listen to the full episode here: https://t.co/5nPqZD1GMs pic.twitter.com/Jp1TbIXLkc

Superb editorial in the @guardian on the sixth form college pay scandal. Without the same funding, sixth form colleges cannot make the same pay award as schools. Put students first and end the strikes by providing SFCs with the £ they need @bphillipsonMP https://t.co/8Cokriuput

An excellent listen.@SFCA_info's James is spot on to say this type of behaviour would never happen with A Levels. Thank you James, @Tom_Middlehurst & @Tom_Richmond 👏👏👏 https://t.co/YhQUXRt2w3

Thank you to sixth form college champion @AlisonEBennett for raising the issue of sixth form college pay at #PMQs today. Teachers and support staff in our sector deserve the same pay award as staff in schools and colleges - ministers must address this injustice without delay. https://t.co/yltzJRxsrt

Listen to @SFCA_info's James Kewin and @ASCL_UK's @Tom_Middlehurst make the case to #ProtectStudentChoice in the latest of this excellent podcast series from @Tom_Richmond. BTECs have vital role to play alongside A levels and T levels in the future qualifications landscape. https://t.co/49Zrow97VY
