Update and implications of T-Levels Rhys Davies DRIVING GROWTH OF THE HUMBER ECONOMY FOR THE BENEFIT OF OUR COMMUNITIES
The context: The Sainsbury Review of FE and Skills 2016 Challenge: Grow the economy and improve productivity. 4 principles: • Employers must play a leading role in designing the FE curriculum • Technical education must be seen as an attractive viable alternative to A Levels • Young people need to meet the national standards set by employers • A closer integration between college-based and employment-based technical education 6
Recap of spring budget March 2017 £500 million each year from 2018/19 committed to 900 hours per year for 16-19 year olds on technical programmes New qualifications will be known as T-Levels Increase of over 50% in the number of hours of training for 16-19 year old technical students (from 600 hrs/pa to over 900 hrs/pa) including a high quality 3-month work placement for every student From 2019-20 maintenance loans will be available to students on technical ed courses levels 4-6 in National Colleges and Institutes of Technology. Maintenance loans will also support adults to retrain at these institutions 7 DfE will invest up to £40m in pilots to test effectiveness of different approaches to lifelong learning .
Technical and Further Education Act April 2017 Some key aspects: 1. The Skills Plans • Supports the findings of the Sainsbury Review to rationalise vocational education • Establishes an Institute of Apprenticeships and Technical Education • Vocational and technical education to be employer led 2. Creation of an insolvency regime • Government no longer banker of the last resort • Area Based reviews meant to ameliorate risk of insolvency 3. Reinforces the move to devolving the adult skills budget The ‘Baker clause’ will require schools to allow access to pupils 4. for all post-16 providers. Overseen by Ofsted. 8
T Level Structure 9
Two routes 10
15 routes 11
Tech Levels: panel recommendations Each two year programme will being with a ‘common core’ which applies to all individuals studying the route and is aligned to apprenticeships. The common core will allow students to develop a broad set of knowledge, skills and behaviours common to a range of occupations with the route On completing the core content, individuals should begin to specialise towards an occupation or group of occupations. The design of the new technical education routes will need to enable better articulation between 16-18 and adult education, and the further work (supporting link to level 4 and 5). 12
Tech Levels: panel recommendations “ Tech levels are likely to include multiple forms of assessment , and each tech level could look different depending on the content to be assessed. It could, for example include a portfolio of work for individuals. What is of overarching importance however, is that employers have confidence in the qualification and what they mean. Employers were also clear that, for qualifications to be credible, they must be externally assessed so that employers can have confidence that quality standards have been met and judgements applied consistently.” 13
Work placements Substantive work placement of 50 days (min 315 hours) Occupationally specific Taking place with an external employer Delivered to a structured work plan Supervised and monitored Work placement and Delivery fund (CDF) – ESFA £250 per qualifying student 14
Latest timeline 15
Immediate next steps 16
Questions….. 1. How can providers and employers prepare for the new work placements? (capacity, engagement with employers and SMEs) 2. How can providers and employers work together to ensure a coherent post 16 curriculum offer across the region which meets the needs of employers? Which routes do providers offer? 3. What are the potential consequences of the requirement to complete the work placement and the emphasis on external assessment for student outcomes? 17
