Written question asked by Chi Onwurah (Labour) on Wednesday, 29 June 2022, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Monday, 4 July 2022 (named day). It was answered by Alex Burghart (Conservative) on Monday, 4 July 2022 on behalf of the Department for Education.

T-levels

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what his targets are for the number of t-level placements by subject available in academic years (a) 2022-23, (b) 2023-24 and (c) 2024-25.

Answer: The industry placement is a mandatory component of the T Level and every student must complete a placement in order to complete their T Level. We currently do not, nor plan to, set targets on the number of T Level students and industry placements, in each academic year. This is a conscious decision as we want students to enrol on the T Level courses because they are the right choice for them to make the career progression they want. The quality of the qualification and the value to the student’s future career are what will drive take-up of T Levels.
