Asked by: Baroness Keeley (Labour - Life peer)
Question to the Department for Education:
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the effectiveness of the T Level-model for creative subjects; and what consideration they have given to making changes to improve the applicability of T Levels for creative subjects and the creative industries.
Answered by Baroness Smith of Malvern - Minister of State (Department for Work and Pensions)
Almost all T Level learners (92-93%) who completed their T Level in the first three cohorts were studying and/or working when surveyed after their course, with at least two thirds of students going on to work or study in the same field as their course. The department is expanding T Levels in subject areas including creative, so that more students can benefit from these strong progression opportunities.
We have already announced reforms to the delivery of industry placements, allowing greater scope for providers to determine appropriate delivery methods to facilitate placements for their students, including in creative sector settings.
We will continue to work with employers and providers to understand sector needs and to ensure that the T Level model supports this, ahead of new qualifications being introduced.
