PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
T-levels (30 November 2022)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment she has made of the efficacy of the T-Levels transition programme.

Asked by:
Karin Smyth (Labour)

Answer

The T Level Transition Programme is being phased in alongside T Levels. It is too early to make an overall assessment of the programme based on available evidence from the first year. The programme is new and the first year was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. T Levels are also new, and providers will still be learning what works in supporting progression onto T Levels. The department has published two research reports relating to the first year of teaching. These can be accessed here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/research-on-early-delivery-of-the-t-level-transition-programme, and: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/technical-education-learner-survey.

The programme has been updated from September 2022 and the department will continue monitoring the programme as it is rolled out.
