In October 2022, DfE published the governments response to its consultation on the Review of post-16 qualifications at level 2 and below in England.

The response sets out DfEs intentions for the future qualifications landscape at level 2 and below in England. It confirms the groups of qualifications that will be considered for public funding in the future grouped by level, purpose, and intended destination. The review of qualifications at level 2 and below will span several years, with DfE taking a phased approach to the first teaching of reformed qualifications from 2025 to 2027.
