AoC responds to Public Account Committee report on T Levels

Catherine Sezen, Director of Education Policy, Association of Colleges said: "This report rightly recognises the importance of T Levels in providing young people with the technical skills and knowledge required to thrive in the modern workforce.
"Colleges across the country are committed to delivering high-quality T Level programmes. We have seen firsthand the positive impact these qualifications can have on students' career prospects and their progression into higher education and employment.
"However, as the Public Accounts Committee highlights it is crucial that the government provides the necessary support and resources to maximize the potential of T Levels.
"Their recommendations on awareness raising, employer engagement, costs, workforce, burden of assessment and supporting a diverse range of students, especially those with special educational needs are pragmatic and welcome.”
