More than a fifth of wave two T Level providers deferred or cancelled courses because they could not recruit enough students.
Of the 62 colleges, schools and private providers due to begin delivery of the flagship courses from September 2021, 14 deferred or cancelled a route that they intended to deliver.
A government evaluation report of the T Level Professional Development programme, delivered by the Education and Training Foundation, revealed the finding today.
The research stated that deferrals or cancellations were mostly due to challenges with learner recruitment as students preferred other courses such as BTECs, as well staffing issues, a general lack of awareness, and the Covid-19 pandemic.
