Keywords National vocational qualifications, Students, Universities
More students are gaining GNVQs, according to the Joint Council of National Vocational Awarding Bodies.
By the end of September 1998, 107,876 students had gained a full GNVQ award. Three in five advanced-level GNVQ students gained a full award, which is equivalent to two full A-levels, and three in four achieve at least six units, which are the equivalent of one A-level.
The number of GNVQ students applying to university has tripled in three years. Last year, almost 90 per cent of institutions had offered places to GNVQ students before clearing began.
