Real-time update: Government announces review of post-16 qualification reform

Opening a debate in the House of Commons, Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson has announced the government will undertake a short pause and review of post-16 qualification reform at Level 3 and below, concluding before the end of the year. This means the defunding scheduled for next week will be paused.

The coming year would also see the roll-out of further development of new T Levels. A further update will be given tomorrow.
