It was a pleasure to welcome the Secretary of State for Levelling Up to UTC South Durham to see the impressive technical facilities and hear from students about how they are being successful in their professional and educational experiences.
The Secretary was keen to understand the very strong industry links and the success of the recently launched Engineering T-Level at the UTC, as well as gather feedback about how the new courses could be improved to ensure their future success.
He heard about the achievements of UTCs across the country, 85% of which now have Ofsted ratings of Good or Outstanding.
Over the past five years there has been a clear transformation in the UTC programme, it is now delivering against the original vision our country needs more skilled professionals and UTCs are an excellent example of how the education system can prepare young people for careers in engineering, digital, and health care.
