Recommendation 10

Rejected
Paragraph: 45
Publish fast-tracked destination data for the first cohort of T Level students
Recommendation
The Department must publish data on the education, apprenticeship, and employment destinations for the first cohort of T Level students at the earliest opportunity. While Department destination measures are usually published two years following the completion of 16–18 study, we recommend the Department fast-track this data, providing an interim picture ahead of the expected official publication in 2024.
Government Response Summary
The government rejects fast-tracking destination data for T Level students, stating it is not possible due to the complex data matching process required, which would result in incomplete information. They confirm that data is already made available at the earliest opportunity, with the first cohort's survey findings due in late 2023/early 2024.

The Department already makes destination data available at the earliest opportunity. It is not possible to fast-track the publication of destination data as it is matched with data from a range of other sources, and accelerating this process this would result in incomplete destination information. The Technical Education Learner Survey (commissioned by DfE) is tracking the destinations of the first 2 T Level cohorts and we will be publishing the findings from the first cohort (1 year after completion) in late 2023 / early 2024.
