Tuesday 23rd May 2023 Ministerial Corrections

Lifelong Learning (Higher Education Fee Limits) Bill

The following is an extract from Third Reading of the Lifelong Learning (Higher Education Fee Limits) Bill on Wednesday 3 May.

[Robert Halfon]

The hon. Member for Warwick and Leamington spoke on Report about T-levels, and I am proud that the number of T-level students has gone up to 10,000. We have 16 T-level subjects in delivery, with a total of 18 from September. We are spending up to £500 million on T-levels, which have a 92% pass rate, with many students progressing to university, employment and apprenticeships, and we have invested £240 million to help providers prepare to deliver high-quality industry placements.
