✅ Colleges have been given a 'crown guarantee' for the local government pension scheme that is expected to lower contribution rates and save them around £30m, the skills minister has announced https://t.co/e6fQu4zNIF

Good news that the government plans to extend the LGPS guarantee to colleges. This is a welcome move that will benefit many institutions via lower employer pension contributions. Thank you to @Jacqui_Smith1 and the @educationgovuk officials who have worked hard to deliver this.

National, robust evidence of outcomes - positive or negative, HE or work - unfortunately just isn't there for either reformed AGQs or T levels. It's possible that T levels are better for employment or that most AGQ students don't go to HE, but the data we have don't tell us that.

@SFCA_Info - November 7

The destinations data you refer to is from 2019 and does not include most reformed AGQs. As T level data is "emerging" there is no DfE data to support the claim that "T levels do better in terms of employment". Important that this debate is evidence led: https://t.co/aWjNKNIzrd

Excellent article from @David_PhoenixVC on the importance of retaining applied general qualifications such as BTECs. #ProtectStudentChoice https://t.co/btFUZGVPZg

It would be interesting to know the source for this @FrancisAlun given the government has not published destinations data for T level students or reformed AGQs.
