The government’s £2.5 billion investment in AI and quantum sets out a clear ambition for UK growth and global tech leadership. But investment in technology is only part of the equation. Nurturing the skills to work with that technology are essential to turning this commitment into a thriving home‑grown tech sector and sustained economic growth.
The government’s announcement brings greater clarity to its plans for a post-16 system with clear pathways for all learners. It confirms the introduction of a third vocational route at level 3, alongside A levels and T Levels, recognising that learners need choice as they progress into work, further study or higher education.
Today, the government published the outcome of its consultation on post-16 level 3 and below pathways. The consultation sought views on the design and implementation of a third, vocational pathway at level 3 – to be called V Levels – and on two new pathways at level 2 in post-16 education.
