Launch of consultation on T Levels

In a recent issue of Heads Up, we shared news of two national initiatives being launched to fund the introduction of T Levels (if you missed it you can read it here). T Levels will provide young people with a choice between technical and academic education post-16 and will be rolled out in September 2020, initially in the areas of Digital, Construction and Education and Childcare.

The government are now seeking views from education providers on how this funding will be distributed with a 3 month consultation launched on 27th November. The consultation sets out proposals for distributing funding to providers for the delivery of T levels from 2020 onwards, building on existing 16 to 19 funding arrangements.

An additional £500 million a year is being provided to meet the costs of additional teaching hours and industry placement requirements.

The consultation closes at 11.45pm on 19 February 2019.
