This report summarises York Consulting's findings following its independent analysis of the responses to the Department for Education (DfE) consultation on higher technical education (HTE). DfE launched the consultation in July 2019, which was aimed at anyone with an interest in technical education and training for young people and adults in England. The consultation was online with an option to submit responses via email. It was open for 12 weeks. The consultation had 28 questions and included closed (quantitative) questions and open text (qualitative) questions. The questions were ordered under five headings as follows: (1) Introduction: contact and organisation information; (2) Higher technical qualifications (HTQs): agreement with the proposed aims of HTQs, feedback on the proposals, incentives, approval processes, and the Ofqual and OfS regulatory arrangements; (3) Delivery of higher technical education (HTE): quality criteria, OfS technical registration, funding proposals, skill needs, resources and costs; (4) Student and employer demand: demand among adults, young people and employers, the profile and prestige of HTQs, the provision of career information and guidance, and feedback on flexible provision; and (5) Wider impact: feedback on the HTQ proposals and individuals with protected characteristics, and other comments. Consultation events led by the DfE were held in five locations in England in September 2019. These events focused on specific consultation questions and/or areas selected from the four main headings. This document should be read in conjunction with the government's response to the consultation on improving higher technical education, held in 2019, for anyone with an interest in technical education and training for young people and adults in England.
