Recommendation 1

1 Paragraph: 23

Nearly 40% of young people lack Level 3 qualifications, impeding national productivity.

Conclusion
In 2021, 62% of young people in England had gained a level 3 qualification by age 19, the highest proportion on record. However, with almost 40% of young people not qualified to this level, the nation’s ability to tackle skills shortages and address productivity challenges is impeded.
