PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Further Education: Special Educational Needs (4 November 2024)

The government is committed to ensuring that all young people, including those with education, health and care plans, can access a range of high quality qualifications and programmes which support them to develop the skills they need to thrive at work and throughout life. This is at the heart of the government’s missions to break down the barriers to opportunity and to boost economic growth.

The Curriculum and Assessment Review will ensure meaningful, rigorous and high value pathways for all, with access to qualifications and training that will provide the skills they need to seize opportunity. The review will look closely at the key challenges to attainment for young people and the barriers which hold children back from the opportunities and life chances they deserve, in particular children and young people who are socioeconomically disadvantaged or with special educational needs or disabilities.
