For Higher Education
The 14-19 reforms are designed to encourage more young people to continue learning for longer and to gain the qualifications they need to progress into further and higher education or employment. Students entering higher education will have experienced a challenging and relevant programme of learning through GCSEs and A levels, new specialised Diplomas, or a combination of both. Students will be well prepared for further study, will be able to learn for themselves, be self-motivated, interested, and will not need remedial study when they enter Higher Education.
