Finally, Amendment 478 tabled by the noble Lord, Lord Wei, seeks to provide an official certificate of graduation for children who have completed education equivalent to A-levels before the age of 16. I agree with the noble Lord that it is important that any student, regardless of their age, gets formal recognition of the qualifications that they have taken. Any individual taking a formal qualification will receive an official certificate from the awarding organisation confirming their attainment in those qualifications. Those certificates provide formal recognition of a qualification, and individuals, including early academic achievers, will be able to use them to progress to further education or employment.
