answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/05/2024 answer text <p>T Levels set students up to progress onto a number of routes including employment, further education or higher education (HE). The government was delighted to see that last year, 97% of T Level students who applied for undergraduate study through UCAS received at least one offer. More information can be found here: <a href="https://www.ucas.com/corporate/news-and-key-documents/news/79-uk-18-year-old-applicants-receiving-results-gain-place-first-choice-university" target="_blank">https://www.ucas.com/corporate/news-and-key-documents/news/79-uk-18-year-old-applicants-receiving-results-gain-place-first-choice-university</a>. Students secured places on a range of courses such as Midwifery, Computer Science and Architecture at a range of institutions.</p><p>The department has published a list of over 160 HE providers that have confirmed that they accept T Levels on at least one course. The list can be found at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/higher-education-providers-with-t-levels-in-entry-requirements" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/higher-education-providers-with-t-levels-in-entry-requirements</a>. This list is not exhaustive or an official register of all HE providers that accept T Levels and is updated as providers confirm that they accept T Levels. Given that HE providers are autonomous institutions that regularly review the entry requirements, the department recommends that students look at the UCAS website and the websites of higher education providers for more information on entry requirements for specific courses.</p><p>The department works closely with the HE sector to ensure providers understand the content and quality of T Levels. The department has published a range of resources to support HE providers at the following site: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/t-level-resources-for-universities" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/t-level-resources-for-universities</a>. The department has also published a range of resources for T Level providers who wish to support their students who are considering progressing into HE, which can be found here:<a href="https://support.tlevels.gov.uk/hc/en-gb/articles/15892783337362-T-Levels-and-Higher-Education-Progression" target="_blank">https://support.tlevels.gov.uk/hc/en-gb/articles/15892783337362-T-Levels-and-Higher-Education-Progression</a>.</p> answering member constituency Thornbury and Yate answering member printed Luke Hall question first answered 20/05/2024 11:50:03 answering member 4450 label Biography information for Luke Hall

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/05/2024 answer text <p>In 2022, there were 599,000 students aged 16 in education in England. 440,000 students, or 73%, were studying qualifications at Level 3. More information can be found in the ‘Participation in education, training and employment age 16 to 18’ publication on GOV.UK.</p><p> </p><p>The department does not publish estimates for the number of students that will begin a T Level or T Level Foundation year (TLFY) in each academic year. Over 30,000 students have started a T Level since 2020, and over 16,000 students have started on the TLFY over the first four years. The recently published T Level Action Plan sets out the steps the department is taking to continue to increase uptake over the coming years.</p> answering member constituency Thornbury and Yate answering member printed Luke Hall question first answered 16/05/2024 10:09:32 answering member 4450 label Biography information for Luke Hall
