Ensure level 3 BTEC's are not equivelant to 3 A levels
According to the board of education, a Level 3 BTEC is equivelent to 3 A- levels. However the amount of work, stress, perserverance and time spent completing A levels is far from on par with that endured from BTEC students.
'Even students who win places at prestigious Russell Group universities on the back of top results in BTECs are much less likely to gain a first or 2:1 and more than 40 per cent fail to complete their degree course, with many withdrawing because of “academic failure”.'- The Sunday Times.
A- Level students are experienced with high levels of stress and mental endurance due to the courses sat, and so is it just they have to compete for university places that will most probably be dropped out of?
