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.

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

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.

As yet unclear! Working to get details from DfE. We know there’s definitely £300m for college estates.

Our asks: raise the rate of funding for 16-18s - currently lower than for primary school students - by at least £710 per student per year; address financial inequalities for sixth form colleges like VAT; and fund expansion of college buildings to accommodate growing population. https://t.co/R1am5gXTzS

As Anne says, addressing inequality at post-16 means "retaining BTECs and similar qualifications" and enabling students to choose T levels because they're the right choice for them rather than because alternatives have been scrapped. #protectstudentchoice https://t.co/xFk6KdTiId
