With an estimated 203,000 people with Level 3+ engineering skills required per year to meet expected demand from the sector, it's more important than ever to #ProtectStudentChoice for BTECs in Engineering. https://t.co/mwqI6IBESS https://t.co/wX6CMNdVuM

For those who haven’t already, please sign the #protectstudentchoice petition. It’s imperative that we give students a broad and balanced offer in our sixth forms.

Among the many important recommendations in this report is a call to #ProtectStudentChoice: "the Government must reconsider its decision to defund tried and tested level 3 qualifications like BTECs, Extended Diplomas and AGQs." Keeping BTECs is good for students AND the economy. https://t.co/Uet8LbYfJV

@BrightBird01 @StoneKingLLP When a wellbeing culture isn't present, nice add-ons won't help make things better - in fact, they might make things worse: "when cake isn't enough."
