A survey of parents of 11-18 year olds commissioned by the Chartered Management Institute (CMI), the professional body for management and leadership, reveals that with only two years until the first T-Levels are rolled out, two thirds of parents (62%) have not heard of them - and only 7% of parents feel they know a lot about them. 

Up to 130,000 children could be at risk of missing out on a place at secondary school over the next five years, ministers have been warned.

Within less than a week, more than 152 employers* including leading advocates for apprenticeships, and over 285 management apprentices have signed the Trailblazer Group’s appeal to present to Ministers at the Department for Education to reject the latest proposals by the Institute of Apprenticeships to introduce huge cuts to the funding bands of the most popular management apprenticeships. 

The uptake of students studying science and maths is welcome progress, but studying engineering is creative and should not be limited to only those who have taken these subjects at A-Level, says the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET).

Labour has blasted the Government after it emerged students in the poorest areas of England were nine times more likely to be in struggling schools than those in the richest areas.

Downing Street today refused to back itself on an apprenticeship promise renewed by Theresa May last year.

Education ministers are reportedly planning to attempt to reduce the number of unconditional offers given to university applicants.

The uptake in students studying the crucial engineering gateway subjects of Maths and Physics is a step in the right direction but exams alone do not give today’s students the right practical experience and insight into modern engineering careers, says the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET). 

Commenting on the A-level results, Chris Keates, General Secretary of the NASUWT - The Teachers’ Union, said:

Private schools should fend off Labour plans to "abolish" them by handing out places to thousands of children in care, a Tory minister has said.

Ministers must bring back maintenance grants if the number of students from poorer backgrounds attending the country’s top universities is to rise, the institutions’ boss has said.

Commenting on the Education Secretary’s pledge to halve the number of children falling behind in their early language and literacy skills, Steven McIntosh, Director of UK Poverty for Save the Children, said

Education Secretary Damian Hinds will today vow to clamp down on the "persistent scandal" of children starting school without basic reading and writing skills.

In direct response to the 800,000 young people who are currently not in education, employment or training (NEET), Coca-Cola European Partners (CCEP) is working with national charity, UK Youth, on a new programme to equip young people with employability skills and confidence to transition into work.

In an open letter to Nadhim Zahawi, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Education, Save the Children has come together with leading academics, union leaders and education bodies, calling on the government to keep its promise to address the early years teacher shortage, and set out a strategy to recruit and retain these vital early years teachers.

Pupils excluded from school are being failed by the education system, MPs have warned.

Theresa May has hit back after being labelled a “milk snatcher” over plans to divert cash for nurseries to a new healthy foods scheme.

Teachers say they are struggling to access professional support for pupils experiencing mental health problems, amid an upswing in the number of children and young people experiencing depression, panic attacks and self-harming.

Technical education does not just offer more flexibility in learning, but an increased number of opportunities to students who do not believe that a traditional academic route suits them, says NFB.

An education minister has admitted she would advise her own children to delay taking one of the Government's newly-proposed qualifications.

Over the years the school exclusion system has eroded and has had an adverse impact on pupils with learning difficulties and autism, says Lord Touhig.

As the UK’s higher education sector evolves and adapts to the emerging needs of our economy and society, we will be a vocal and vigorous defender of the interests of England’s two million students, writes the Office for Students chief executive Nicola Dandridge 

We need a system which rewards a young person’s hard work and ability, instead of discriminating on the grounds of class or race, writes Rushanara Ali
