A small increase in A-Level entries

Partly because of the roll-out of more subjects, T-Level entries are set to increase this year, as we’ve just seen. And, as we’ll see in a moment, so are A-Level entries. It will be interesting to see what impact this has on entries to other Level 3 VTQs.

The uncertainty around future funding of brazil rcs data BTECs and other VTQs may also have caused some VTQs to decline in popularity this year, and, if defunding does go ahead, will certainly have an impact in the future.

We may not see data on entries to VTQs published on results day, but we’ll be keeping our eyes peeled later in the year.

The number of A-Level entries has been increasing since 2020, and we expect around 100,000 more entries this year than there were in 2020.[4]

This is partially, but not entirely, explained by the infamous ‘population bulge’ moving through the education system. But while the 18 year-old population has increased by around 9% between 2020 and 2024, the number of A-Level entries has increased by nearly 13%.
