"The government's new vocational qualifications, part of wider reforms to the curriculum and post-16 system to simplify access to vocational and technical education, will be in education, finance and digital. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer set a new target to see two-thirds of young people in higher education, technical or vocational training, or doing a gold standard apprenticeship by the age of 25."
"V-levels will sit alongside A-levels and T-levels, and are equivalent to one A-level. Students will be able to combine A-levels and V-levels. Current Year 9 pupils will be the first cohort eligible. Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson said V-levels will make accessing vocational and technical education less complicated for young people and parents."
