The Post-16 Skills Plan set out our plan to reform technical education including the introduction of 15 new technical routes to skilled employment, new college-based training programmes (T Levels) based on employer-designed standards, and high quality T Level work placements.<\/p>
Delivering these reforms will be transformational; and we are determined to ensure they are a success and achieve their overall aims: to transform technical education and create a high quality system that delivers the skills, knowledge and behaviours that employers and the country need.<\/p>
The only way to deliver this challenge successfully is through genuine partnership between government, business experts/leaders and education professionals.<\/p>
My officials have now carried out extensive testing of the current delivery plans, including in relation to work placement provision, in discussion with employers, providers and awarding organisations. Following that assessment, we have concluded that we will deliver a small number of T levels from September 2020, with all routes available as planned in September 2022.<\/p>
Over the summer, we will continue to refine and develop our plans working with business and the providers, and we will provide an update on progress in the autumn.<\/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" : "2017-07-20", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2017-07-20T15:02:19.707Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "60"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2017-07-18", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Vocational Education"} , "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 the timetable is for delivery of the first T-levels.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4522", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Rebecca Pow"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Taunton Deane"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Rebecca Pow"} ], "uin" : "5990"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/752611", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Education"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/752611/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Department published the evaluation of early implementation of 30 hours of free childcare on 17 January 2017 (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/30-hours-free-childcare-early-implementation-evaluation<\/a>).<\/p> We also plan to publish the evaluation of early rollout of 30 hours of free childcare in September 2017 and will take steps to implement the early leaning from this as soon as it is made available.<\/p> <\/p> The Department will also continue to monitor the implementation of 30 hours free childcare through the Early Years and Schools censuses, the Childcare and Early Years Survey of Parents and the Childcare and Early Years Providers Survey to monitor the 30 hours offer from both the providers\u2019 and parents\u2019 perspective.

We publish data annually on take up of free places by two, three and four-year-olds, and carry out regular voluntary surveys of local authorities.
