In his Spring Statement my right hon. Friend, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, reiterated the government’s ambition of 3 million new high-quality apprenticeships by 2020 and the importance of making sure that technical and vocational skills are at the heart of our education system but we will not sacrifice quality for quantity.

We regularly report on progress toward the target in our apprenticeships and traineeships publications, available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/fe-data-library-apprenticeships.
