Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many students started to study each T Level course broken down by (a) institution and (b) course in 2021-22.

Recruitment information received from the 102 education providers offering T Levels in the 2021 to 2022 academic year shows 5,450 T Level participants. The proportion of participants by T Level route was approximately 1,150 on Construction T Levels, 1,200 on Digital T Levels, 1,500 on Education and Childcare T Levels, and 1,600 on Health and Science T Levels. The department will publish more detailed figures in the 2022 T Level Action Plan in due course.

The department has published official data on 16 to 18 year olds’ participation, which includes T Level student numbers, at https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/participation-in-education-training-and-employment-2021. This data is not available at institution level, however, we do also publish data on 16-19 funding allocations at institution level, at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/16-to-19-allocation-data-2021-to-2022-academic-year.
