Education secretary announces year’s delay to unpopular defunding plans, and accepts role of many BTecs
Ministers’ planned abolition of technical qualifications is to be delayed for a year, with reassurances that many BTecs are likely to continue to feature in the post-16 education landscape after an outcry from the sector.
The education secretary, Nadhim Zahawi, told MPs during the second reading of the skills and post-16 education bill in Commons on Monday that the government’s “ambitious” reforms were being slowed down to allow the sector more time to prepare for the changes.
