Ofqual is leading a reform of Level 3 qualifications in England to address overlaps with T Levels and improve post-16 education pathways. The reform proposes a three-route model for students not achieving grade 4 GCSE in maths and English, with funding extended until 2027 for certain technical qualifications. The policy aims to increase the proportion of young people qualified to Level 3 by age 19 and align qualifications with skills needs and net zero objectives.
