Post-16 Education and Skills White Paper
Today, the government is publishing its white paper on skills and post-16 education. We know you’ll have questions about how these proposals might affect your students and the qualifications you teach.
As the UK’s most experienced and trusted awarding organisation, we’re already reviewing the proposals to understand what they mean for you, your students, and the future of vocational and technical education in England. We’ll provide you with clear, practical guidance as soon as possible, so you can plan with confidence and continue delivering high-quality learning experiences.
This white paper sets out the government’s long-term direction for skills and technical education in England. We expect the upcoming Curriculum and Assessment Review (CAR) to provide more detail and clarity, and we’ll share what it means for you as soon as it’s released.
Whatever comes next, we'll make sure you have everything you need to support your students and plan for the future. If you have any questions, you can contact us through the Pearson support portal.
