DfE review of post-16 qualifications L3 and below

UCU's response to the Department for Education review of post-16 qualifications L3 and below.

The 2019 consultation by the Department for Education formed the first stage of the government's review of post-16 level 3 and below qualifications (excluding T Levels, A Levels and GCSEs).

It asked for views on the high level principles and outlines proposals for the removal of funding approval for unreformed qualifications.
