    Rt Hon Damian Hinds MP Secretary of State Sanctuary Buildings Great Smith Street Westminster London SW1P 3BT tel: 0370 000 2288 www.education.gov.uk/help/contactus Jonathan Slater Permanent Secretary Department for Education 24 May 2018 Dear Jonathan, T Level timetable: direction Thank you for your letter on T Level delivery. As you say, the introduction of T Levels is our opportunity to reform technical qualifications for good. I am very grateful to the teams at the Department for Education and all of our partners in business and across the education sector for the design and development work to date. Our plan is for a measured implementation of T Levels. Teaching is to begin in September 2020 in the first three subjects (out of up to 25 eventually) in 30-50 colleges and other providers (out of a potential group of up to 1,000 providers, eventually including colleges, independent providers and other post-16 providers). T Levels last for two years, so first completions would be in Summer 2022. The subjects are: One Construction pathway One Digital pathway Education & Childcare I appreciate the advice I have received about the delivery timetable and have considered this in detail. I recognise your reasons for requesting a ministerial direction and how they align with your responsibilities as the Accounting Officer for DfE. As you say I am able to draw on a wider range of considerations than the guidance to Accounting Officers, and I am convinced of the case to press ahead. Alongside our apprenticeship reforms, T Levels are central to reforming technical and vocational education and training, to improve workforce skills and drive productivity growth.
