The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps she is taking to ensure transitional arrangements in post-16 qualification options before V-levels are fully implemented.

Answered by Josh MacAlister

We have recently closed a consultation on Post-16 Level 3 and Below Pathways. As part of this, we are considering transition arrangements to reach the new qualifications landscape set out in the Post-16 Skills White Paper, and will set out plans in due course.
