Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, for what reasons his Department's plans to publish Progress 8 data do not include key data on BTEC Level 2 qualifications; and if he will make a statement.

The Government has not changed its policy in this area. The Department can confirm that those BTEC Level 2 qualifications which are on the Key Stage 4 approved list of qualifications will be included in the 2019 provisional Key Stage 4 data scheduled to be published on 17 October 2019.
