DfE have also published the response to the T Level funding consultation at https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/funding-for-the-delivery-of-t-levels which confirms how funding will be distributed, including:
- · Confirmation that additional funding will be provided to support T Level students who have not yet met the minimum English and maths requirement (GCSE or equivalent) so they can continue to gain these vital skills
- · Providing additional funding to support disadvantaged young people including while on an industry placement
- · Extra funding for T Level students who are aged 18 to ensure that they have access to the additional hours that are needed for larger T Level courses
· Introducing £3.75million of additional funding to help the early providers of T Levels and the transition programme meet some of the costs that are unique to these early providers
