Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what recent discussions he had with (a) employers and (b) universities on the value of the T level statement.

Issuing a Statement of Achievement for students as recognition of their partial achievement of a T Level was outlined as part of the department’s consultation response on T Level implementation. Over 92% of the respondents to the consultation, which included further education (FE) colleges, employer representative bodies, employers and universities, agreed that partial achievement should be reflected in students’ transcripts. Discussions with employers and universities following the publication of the consultation response has indicated that they continue to support this position. The department continually references the value of the Statement of Achievement in guidance and engagement with providers, employers and universities, and we are currently working with the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) to agree awarding of UCAS tariff points for partial achievement of a T Level. Partial achievement was also recognised as part of the provisional T Level results from the year 2021/2022.
