Despite the demographic boom, there is no capital expansion funding for 16-19. Establishing post-16 capacity fund 2.0 should be an early priority following the spending review to ensure students get a fair deal and support the @10DowningStreet plan to 'get Britain building'. https://t.co/kzcAXS6ipK

T levels have a valuable role to play, but as @NAOorguk reports today, student numbers are set to remain low. It is therefore vital to retain medium and large AGQs such as BTECs to avoid students falling through a qualifications gap. #ProtectStudentChoicehttps://t.co/xpKaxemjfl

"T levels represent a vital opportunity...but they are not right for everyone". Following today's@NAOorguk report on T levels, we hope that@educationgovuk will allow medium and large AGQs to co-exist with T levels. See our full response below:https://t.co/8GfjXoLMjV

There was a welcome commitment in the CAR interim report to identify the quals that are needed alongside A levels & T levels. The leaders of the #ProtectStudentChoice coalition believe this should include applied quals in T level routes. Read letter here: https://t.co/Q5AwXqM9rK

Coverage of letter from #ProtectStudentChoice campaign to CAR in today's @FEweek: "...many students successfully combine a diploma-size AGQ with an A-level to reach higher education or skilled employment". It is really important to retain this option. https://t.co/YKyCzp0wPF
