<p>The department is revitalising the technical education system by introducing T
Levels that are backed and designed by employers to get people into skilled work and
further training. T Levels are at the centre of our long-term reforms to technical
education, building on the recommendations in the Sainsbury Report, published in 2016.
Alongside the introduction of T Levels, the department is reviewing post-16 qualifications
at level 3 and below. We have withdrawn funding approval for more than 5,000 qualifications
that had no or low enrolments. The next phase of our reforms is to remove qualifications
that overlap with T Levels for 16 to 19 year olds, which will reduce complexity for
young people and employers.</p><p>The department is also reviewing the qualifications
that sit alongside A levels and T Levels at level 3 and below. Our reforms will ensure
that all students have confidence that every qualification is a high-quality option,
and that it supports their progression to employment or further study, including higher
education.</p>
