Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what progress has been made on developing the transition year for T Levels.

Our ambition is for all young people to have the opportunity to study a technical qualification at level 3. We are developing a transition offer for those who have the potential to study for a T level but are not ready to do so.

The transition offer will be a flexible programme with a strong focus on English and mathematics. We have recently sought feedback through public consultation on what other support we should consider as part of the programme. We will publish our response to the consultation in the spring.
