V Levels Must Build on BTECs

V Levels must build on the proven strengths of BTECs, rather than erasing them, to deliver the workforce the UK needs.

The Post-16 Education and Skills White Paper marks a significant shift in the vocational education system for young people, aiming to tackle the UK's widening skills gap in industries vital to economic growth.

The UK needs a broad qualifications landscape, offering clearly defined pathways from foundational levels through to degrees and higher technical and professional qualifications.

This will help build a highly skilled workforce capable of delivering on the ambitions of the UK's industrial strategy. As the UK's largest awarding organisation, Pearson has extensive experience in delivering post-16 qualifications, including BTECs, A levels, and T Levels.

Author's summary: V Levels should enhance BTECs.
