'The Conservatives became so focused on one output they lost sight of the much more important outcome. Labour must not make the same mistake'🫸 @SFCA_info deputy chief exec, James Kewinhttps://t.co/18bDJyCIj1

Our 'first 100 days' publication highlights how unis can help deliver the new government's ambitions.In it, we call for a 2 year pause & review on the decision to scrap most BTECs. We stand with #ProtectStudentChoice in urging the govt to reconsider: https://t.co/8KIfBGR5GJ https://t.co/RUKXVIUlfE

Well said, James Kewin. I think/hope @bphillipsonMP has deliberately left herself room to reverse further defunding, but the uncertainty is not helping. The review needs to be brief as promised and decisive to #ProtectStudentChoice https://t.co/8VgY7w8x8r

A limited pause is not what is needed here.Government should halt the defunding of BTECs while a full review is conducted.Students are the ones who will lose out. #ValueEducationhttps://t.co/TADrzA1yB6

Leaders, teachers, and students at our College urge you to support the Protect Student Choice campaign. Please write to the Secretary of State for Education to pause the defunding of BTEC and other AGQ qualifications. @jreynoldsMP @AngelaRayner @GwynneMP #ProtectStudentChoice pic.twitter.com/JwddFs7NiF

As part of the #ProtectStudentChoice campaign we've written to @bphillipsonMP urging her to reconsider the decision not to pause the defunding of AGQs such as BTECs. We believe students should be able to enrol on all 134 AGQs up to and including the 2026/27 academic year.👇 https://t.co/n2Mtbscpae

Its hard to believe that ⁦@bphillipsonMP⁩ would abandon qualifications that are transformational for working-class and disadvantaged students There is still time for Labour to protect student choice https://t.co/eiLrPpq423

As a partner in the #ProtectStudentChoice campaign, we urge @bphillipsonMP to reconsider the plan announced this week not to pause the defunding of AGQs, including BTECs. A two-year pause is desperately needed. https://t.co/fWfIArWFZc

Well said @LordBlunkett Tight timescales don’t bode well given the hundreds of thousands of young people who will be affected if this isn’t done well. I’m really hoping that the Civil Servants will listen and hear the experts and professionals 🙏 https://t.co/XzxUmKLhkh

The #ProtectStudentChoice campaign partners have written to @bphillipsonMP urging to her to reconsider the plan announced this week not to pause the defunding of applied general qualifications such as BTECs. A two year pause is desperately needed. https://t.co/PfLd8kcdJc

Our deputy chief exec James writes today in @FEWeek to explain what happened in parliament this week and how jubilation turned to despair for supporters of #protectstudentchoice as it emerged ‘pause and review’ didn’t apply to applied general BTECs.https://t.co/q3kV10RchH

@SFCA_Info - July 26

We need a much longer pause to the defunding of BTEC and other vocational courses. Students need to know what will be available in 2025 to make their choices next term. I urge @bphillipsonMP to review her decision. https://t.co/KL9xZceo4G

We're disappointed with the Government's decision not to implement a long-term pause of the proposals to defund BTECs and AGQs and a full review of T levels.#ProtectStudentChoicehttps://t.co/pTTMIhoP57

"It means colleges and schools will not know until December 2024 what qualifications they can offer in September 2025.""However, most colleges would have already removed these qualifications from their offering as they plan their curriculums 12 to 24 months in advance."🙃 https://t.co/ocsTtkG0ds

Scrap that…The devil is in the detail as they say. And the detail isn’t good news for post 16 students, colleges or the workforce. #ProtectStudentChoice https://t.co/jrA0rGryuo

So we have some kind of 'pause and review', but not all is as it seems from @bphillipsonMP's announcement.Details below and @LordBlunkett sums up his feelings towards it here https://t.co/PNofKBX3MU https://t.co/Lxo1N0V7X0

Ploughing ahead with the ‘ T Levels are gold standard’ mantra will leave too many young people excluded from careers in health & social care, criminal justice, engineering and others. It narrows the curriculum for 16-18 year olds with SEND, for those who want to study a range
