Nursery World - Janet King: Reflecting on two years of T Levels

With the first two cohorts of students now having completed the T Level in Education and Early Years, it’s a good time to take a step back and assess the qualification’s impact on the sector.

If we look at the data, we can see the number of students that took the T Level this year more than doubled - rising from 462 in 2021-22 to 989 in 2022-23.

This shows awareness of this new qualification is growing, and more and more parents and students are seeing it as an excellent progression route into employment or continuing in education.

The Education and Early Years T Level was also the best performing, with more students achieving a distinction or above than in any other subject. According to Government figures, 34.5 per cent of students gained a distinction or a starred distinction.
