The post-16 qualifications review is continuing to make progress in the government’s ambitious technical education reforms to streamline and strengthen the post-16 qualifications offer. The DfE published the updated final list of qualifications that overlap with waves 1 and 2 T Levels. This list now includes qualifications that overlap with Health and Science T Levels, as well as those published previously:
- Construction and the built environment
- Digital
- Education and childcare.
These qualifications will have funding approval withdrawn for new starts on the 16-19 study programme offer from 1 August 2024. Around 30 qualifications in health and social will remain funded until 2025, when cycle 1 of the new funding approval process will commence. After this point, ESFA will fund small alternative academic qualifications in health and social care that can be taken as part of a mixed programme. Click here for more.
