Written question asked by Cat Eccles (Labour) on Monday, 2 June 2025, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Wednesday, 4 June 2025. It was answered by Janet Daby (Labour) on Wednesday, 11 June 2025 on behalf of the Department for Education.


T-levels: Teachers

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what retention rates were for educators of T-Level studies in the latest period for which data is available; and what steps she is taking to ensure the quality of these educators meets a minimum standard.

Answer

The department does not hold information on retention rates specifically for teachers of T Levels. All teachers can access a free of charge continuing professional development programme, offered by the Education Training Foundation, to help update their knowledge and skills to successfully deliver T Levels. We recently updated this support, with more teacher resources, and shorter, more accessible online courses. More information about this support is available here: https://www.et-foundation.co.uk/professional-development/t-levels/.

Ofsted inspects further education and skills providers in England under part 8 of the Education and Inspections Act 2006 and must state whether education or training inspected is of adequate quality. Inspections will encompass T Level provision where offered.
