Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps his Department is taking to (a) review and (b) improve T Level quality following the first cohort of students’ and teachers' feedback.

The first cohort of students completed their T Levels in summer 2022 and achieved an overall pass rate of 92.2%. As further T Levels are made available, the department is monitoring their performance to ensure that they are meeting their intended purpose. This includes working closely with Ofqual, the Institute for Apprenticeships & Technical Education and with awarding organisations to ensure that the qualifications are functioning as intended and to develop mitigations where they are not. We also engage regularly with the schools and colleges delivering T Levels, and with Association of Colleges, to gather their feedback and concerns. Our regular survey of T Level students is designed to build a picture of their experiences that we can factor these into the ongoing roll-out of T Levels. We will update our survey report as new findings are gathered.
