Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many further education colleges were advertising (a) T Levels and (b) an entry requirement for T Levels that included a need for GCSE Maths and English on their websites as of 2 December 2021.

The information requested is not held centrally. Providers are best placed to set entry requirements for the courses they deliver, including T Levels. T Levels have been designed to support a range of attainments. We have made changes to ensure that English and mathematics attainment do not present a barrier to students successfully completing T Levels. In future, we expect that providers will take an approach to T Level entry requirements that is in line with their current approach for other level 3 provision.
