I Just came across the story of Demar Bellamy-Foster, whose media BTEC led to a Hollywood internship on Warner Bros' Fantastic Beasts! 🌟 What an incredible start to a career! However, there's a storm brewing in the UK education landscape. The government's plan to overhaul skills education may see the axe fall on some beloved BTECs, diverting students towards T-levels – a move raising eyebrows and concerns. What do I think?🤔 - BTECs are practical, skills-based courses loved by students, employers, and universities. - T-levels offer a more focused approach but come at the cost of established qualifications. - You could argue that the narrow career focus of T-levels might limit options for students uncertain about their future at 15 or 16. - Defunding could impact disadvantaged students who rely on BTECs to access higher education. Why discard something that's working well for all stakeholders? What are your thoughts on this shift in the education landscape? How can we ensure a balanced approach that caters to diverse student needs and aspirations? Let's discuss! #FutureOfWork Here is the link to the story - https://lnkd.in/gD-dNneV

HBCU courses often emphasize community engagement, leadership, and social justice, fostering a strong sense of cultural identity and pride among students.
