Speaking in the House of Lords on 21 November 2024

Debate

Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education (Transfer of Functions etc) Bill [HL]

Contribution

Incidentally, my understanding is that if Skills England became an executive agency, the department would be the awarding body for T-levels. IfATE is the awarding body. Organisations such as Pearson and the other contractors do the work, but the certification is sent out by IfATE. It is a nightmare to imagine a government department becoming an awarding body for an examination such as T-levels. It fills me with a certain amount of disquiet.
