Worried about future options for my career (university)

(Sorry if anything gets confusing this is my first real reddit post)

I (17 m) live in a small town (UK) with a fairly low standard of education as most people just end up doing manual labour for a living.

I’m really trying to do well for myself and go on to university but I get very little help or information from teachers at my college.

A lot of learning resources get put into an A-level college building in my town. However there are very little learning resources in my building which specialises in things like: engineering, welding, robotics and other industrial related professions

(I chose electrical and mechanical engineering (mechatronics) level 3 BTEC for my course)

I’m just going on to my second year now and the teachers did things such as giving us the answers for coursework so we get full marks and things such as that in the first year.

Some of my friends in A-levels are already applying for university courses and I haven’t heard a word about it from my tutors. So I messaged them asking about it only to receive very vague information like even they don’t know what’s happening

I’m really worried I’m going to end up failing my course because of things like this and not be able to get into a university. It means a lot to my parents that I do well and I think they would be very disappointed

I’m basically just wondering what I can do to give me the best chances of having a successful future.
