Recommendation 18
18
Department extends funding for overlapping qualifications, delaying full T Level qualification rollout.
Conclusion
In December 2024, following its previous decision to pause defunding qualifications overlapping with T Levels, the Department announced funding would continue for certain qualifications until 2027. It also committed to continually reviewing those qualifications with low or no enrolments and confirmed that the Curriculum and Assessment Review, expected in Autumn 2025, would help inform future plans.55 47 Qq 2, 10, 45 48 Ofqual, All Regulated Qualifications Landscape, 21 February 2024 49 DfE, Curriculum and Assessment Review: Interim Report, 18 March 2025 50 C&AG’s Report, para 6 51 Qq 38, 61-62 52 Q 62 53 ITL002, ITL005, ITL006, ITL008, ITL011, ITL013 54 Q 62 55 HMG, The outcomes of the Review of Qualifications Reform at Level 3 in England, 14 April 2025 13 2 Understanding the impact of T Levels Ensuring T Levels address skills gaps
