Once T Levels are fully rolled out there will be over £500 million additional funding per year for their delivery. This extra funding will pay for extended industry placements and the additional taught hours that will be needed for T Levels. Nearly £60 million of this funding has already been allocated to providers to help them build capacity for the improved industry placements that will form part of the new T Levels. The funding also includes up to £20 million to help teachers and leaders prepare for the implementation of T Levels. We are currently considering how best to provide this support, and information we gather from the data collection launched on 25 May will help to inform this.<\/p>
We are confident that T Levels will provide a substantial boost to national productivity and the life chances of many thousands of young people. As we introduce the technical education routes, we will explore value for money in a number of ways, including through commissioning an evaluation of the new routes and monitoring performance and destination data.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1523", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Anne Milton"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Guildford"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Anne Milton"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-06-20", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-06-20T14:59:02.08Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "60"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-06-12", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "T-levels: Finance"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what additional resources he has allocated to ensure the introduction of T levels by 2020; and what steps is he taking to ensure the value for money of the introduction of T levels.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "true", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4637", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for James Frith"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Bury North"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "James Frith"} ], "uin" : "152840"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/922003", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Education"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/922003/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
We ran a ten week consultation on our proposals for T levels, which closed on 8 February 2018. This involved an online survey and a series of events around the country. We received hundreds of comments at our events and 430 official responses to the online survey, including 55 from different employers and 86 from employer representative bodies/agencies. We reviewed all of these responses and published the official government response on 27 May 2018, which is available here: www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/711472/Implementation_of_T_Level_programmes-Government_consultation_response.pdf<\/a>. A full list of respondents is included in Annex B, which can be found in the weblink above, though we have not published the names of organisations who wished to keep their submissions confidential.<\/p> <\/p> Employers have developed the outline content that will form the basis of new T Levels, through membership of the T Level panels. A list of the T level panel members of the first 16 panels that have been convened has been published and is available online here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/t-level-panels-membership<\/a>.<\/p> In addition to membership of the T Level panels, we have further consulted employers including BAM Nuttall, Kier, Busy Bees, Action for Children, Amazon, John Lewis and Deloitte on the first three T Levels that will be delivered in 2020.<\/p> <\/p>"}
