A delayed Ofsted study into the implementation and quality of T Levels has found concerns that there is too much content and a need for improved planning.
But report authors say the rollout has been “a good start” and that no issues were insurmountable.
The education watchdog on Monday published an interim report into the launch of the government’s flagship new technical equivalents to A-levels in 2020 and 2021, and the T Level transition programmes.
The study, which was delayed by a year during Covid-19 and will be followed with another in 2023, sampled 24 providers (including 10 running the transition programme) to evaluate the main strengths and weaknesses of the curriculum, how well industry placements were being implemented, and how well they were meeting the needs of learners.
