It follows a consultation that closed in January and received just 21 responses.
This is one of 15 maps that sets out the occupations with relevant knowledge, skills and behaviours within a route. They play an important role in identifying occupations for the development of apprenticeship standards and T level qualifications.
The draft map attracted criticism from sector bodies because it did not link the correct qualification with the correct area of work. For example, Level 3, which allows for staff to manage a setting under the EYFS, was aligned with ‘assistant’.
