<p>The department recognises that significant additional funding will be needed for
the successful introduction and delivery of T Levels. We announced in 2017 that T
Level programmes would be backed by up to an additional £500 million of investment
every year when fully rolled out. Some of this additional £500 million is included
in the £1.6 billion extra announced for 16-19 funding by the 2024/25 financial year,
compared with the 2021/22 financial year, in the recent Spending Review.</p><p>We
have made available £268 million in capital funding for the first three waves of T
Level delivery, starting in September 2020, 2021, and 2022. This funding is being
used to improve the quality of facilities and equipment that will be used to deliver
T Levels. Eligible providers will also be able to access training to help prepare
their teachers and leaders.</p><p>As set out in the table below, we have also allocated
£207.6 million to help the sector build capacity for T Level industry placements and
deliver placements to students on existing programmes. From the 2020/21 academic year,
we have allocated £3.2 million in industry placement funding for those on T Level
programmes. In addition, T Levels include more teaching hours and are more prescriptive
in the content than general 16-19 study programmes. Therefore, four larger bands have
been added to the 16-19 funding bands to ensure T level providers receive the additional
funding required.</p><table><tbody><tr><td colspan="5"><p><strong>Academic Years</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Funding
