Students at the fantastic @BilboroughCol doing an excellent job explaining why BTEC qualifications are so important and must be retained. Thanks to @LilianGreenwood for listening and for your continued support for the #ProtectStudentChoice campaign. https://t.co/EyWmEMtEXD

Bilborough BTEC students were delighted to meet @LilianGreenwood MP today. All spoke so powerfully and movingly about how BTECs have brought confidence and opened doors that would otherwise be closed.#ProtectStudentChoicehttps://t.co/kq5RT1UtJE pic.twitter.com/5GHdcEQfOC

Reviewing T levels without reversing the disastrous plan to scrap BTECs will do nothing to address the "enormous qualifications gap that tens of thousands of students will fall through". Ministers should think again and #ProtectStudentChoice https://t.co/UrskAIWKoU

James Kewin @SFCA_info said 'very low' student interest in T Level leaves the government’s level-3 qualification reforms 'dead in the water'https://t.co/ijhPrlNqwt

A minor review of T levels without a pause to BTEC defunding will do little to address the "enormous qualifications gap that tens of thousands of students will fall through". Well done to all 29 partners in the #ProtectStudentChoice coalition for speaking with one voice on this. https://t.co/5Bzt5TNmOd

Government micro-management and bureaucracy is stifling sixth form education. This is one area where governments can achieve a lot more, by doing a lot less. Give the experts the tools to do the job, and let them get on with it.Read more: https://t.co/0ihHCxzZDY pic.twitter.com/XSJmzK0ZGB

⚠️ Every T Level will be reviewed as fresh figures reveal 'low' student recruitment and confirm 'worryingly low' retention on the qualificationshttps://t.co/ijhPrlNqwt

Today's data: 26k students on a T level. There's 280k on a BTEC or other applied general. Ministers need to face the facts and do what is now inevitable: #protectstudentchoice and keep BTECs on the table.https://t.co/LL2W7Dp1CK

Among this fascinating report's findings is that 74% of people agree with the #protectstudentchoice campaign that sixth form students should be able to mix and match vocational and academic subjects. With BTECs, this is possible - but under current plans, it won't be from 2026. https://t.co/g5IdAAmBba

From interleaving to cognitive load, lots of us know a little about the science of learning. But how do we apply it in a new context? @hood_nina's lovely blog for @educationhubnz looks at the earliest years, but it's relevant to sixth form teachers too!https://t.co/ZA1tj54ZPU
