Question to the Department for Education:

To ask His Majesty's Government what discussions they have had with the education departments of the devolved administrations concerning the proposed replacement of A-level and T-level qualifications.

The department regularly engages with the devolved administrations across a range of issues. On the Advanced British Standard, we have engaged at both official and Ministerial level following its announcement and look forward to continuing engagement through the formal consultation and beyond.

The department has also engaged with a number of groups following the announcement, including the Russell Group, the Association of Colleges and Universities UK, and look forward to ongoing engagement with universities and further education colleges on the Advanced British Standard through the formal consultation and beyond.
