Dear Colleague

The Dfe have asked us to let you know that the government response to the second stage consultation for the review of post-16 qualifications at level 3 has been published today at : https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/review-of-post-16-qualifications-at-level-3-second-stage. The aims of the reforms set out in the response are:

• to ensure that all qualifications offered at post-16 are high quality and help all students progress to their next stage – be that higher education or employment, and
• to make the offer more streamlined and give students clearer choices.

<p class="paragraph" style="margin: 0in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span class="eop">This consultation response focuses on qualifications at level 3, following a call for evidence earlier in the year, we plan to publish a separate consultation for qualifications at Level 2 and below in the autumn.</span></p>
Best wishes
