The below Parliamentary question was asked by Adam Afriyie on 2015-11-23.

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment she has made of the quality of education at university technical colleges.

Nick Boles

University technical colleges (UTCs) harness students’ talents, offering them technical learning alongside GCSEs and A levels, and providing them with knowledge and skills which employers value. The programme is still at an early stage. The best UTCs, such as UTC Reading, are providing excellent education, which is reflected in their exam results.
