The Department for Education in the UK has instituted plans <\/span>to streamline the post-16 Level 3 qualifications system with a focus on A levels and technical T level<\/span>s. Under the plans, some vocational subjects not covered by A and T levels will still be taught via replacements for BTEC Nationals known as Alternative Academic Qualifications. <\/span><\/p>\n

However, the government has confirmed that travel and tourism will not be included across the three qualifications, with funding eligibility removed from the 2026-27 academic year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Academics and key industry players have asked the sector to lobby against the intention to abolish travel and tourism qualifications. They warn that defunding Level 3 courses after 2025 will cut numbers choosing to study travel at university and hit the pipeline of talent for employers.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Travel Weekly, Vicki Wolf, Abta\u2019s head of education and career development, said: \u201cAbta strongly disagrees with government plans to scrap travel and tourism qualifications for 16 to 19-year-olds. There is still high demand for these courses, and they are an important career path for many people.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhile apprenticeships are a fantastic opportunity for young people, not everyone is ready for work straight out of school and a college course gives them time to discover more about their area of interest.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The Business Travel Association has also added its weight to calls for the government to reconsider plans to cut student travel courses in England. The Business Travel Association chief executive Clive Wratten said,  \u201cThe government\u2019s decision to scrap travel and tourism courses for students in England is extremely short-sighted. This is yet another blow to our sector which is experiencing severe staffing and retainment issues post-pandemic.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

He added: \u201cThe Department for Education should not be discouraging students away from any career choice, especially those that have a huge impact on the economic prosperity of our country, such as travel. As a sector, we must lobby and do all we can to ensure this does not go forward.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

While the deadline is set for 2025, various industry stakeholders are adding their voices to this directive issued by the UK government in the hope that it will be reversed. <\/span><\/p>\n
