The Covid-19 pandemic, A Levels, and transitions to UK Higher Education

    Research output: Book/ReportCommissioned reportpeer-review

    Abstract

    A Levels sit within the broader further education environment in the UK. Other further education routes include Scottish Highers, BTECs and apprenticeships, T-Levels, and the International Baccalaureate. This e-briefing focuses on the impact of the pandemic on the administration of A Levels and the experience of A Level students. It does so chronologically, with sections on 2019-20, 2020-21, and 2021-22. The final section considers three themes those due to teach and support students finishing their A Levels in summer 2022 in higher education (HE) settings in the forthcoming 2022-23 academic year may want to factor into their preparation. These factors are academic support, mental health, and inequality.
