In a transformation of the pre-university education system, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced the introduction of an Advanced British Standard during his speech at the Conservative Party Conference on Wednesday.

The new qualification, which will come into effect in over a decade’s time, will integrate A-levels and T-levels, in an attempt to ensure “parity” between academic and technical education.
