Tuesday 23rd May 2023 Ministerial Corrections

The following is an extract from Third Reading of the Lifelong Learning (Higher Education Fee Limits) Bill on Wednesday 3 May.

[Robert Halfon]

The hon. Member for Warwick and Leamington spoke on Report about T-levels, and I am proud that the number of T-level students has gone up to 10,000. We have 16 T-level subjects in delivery, with a total of 18 from September. We are spending up to £500 million on T-levels, which have a 92% pass rate, with many students progressing to university, employment and apprenticeships, and we have invested £240 million to help providers prepare to deliver high-quality industry placements.
