Speaking in the House of Commons on 9 September 2024

Debate

Level 3 Vocational Pathways

Contribution

Apologies, Madam Deputy Speaker; I was not expecting to be called so soon. I thank the Secretary of State for her focus on T-levels and her recognition of the need for a pause. I back up what my hon. Friend the Member for Wolverhampton North East (Mrs Brackenridge) said about the botched nature of the T-level roll-out. Does the Secretary of State recognise that it is a challenge for many services, such as the NHS, to absorb T-level students effectively? Those qualifications need truly to give our young people the opportunities they deserve. Will she meet me and local further education experts to discuss this issue?
