The panel will be responsible for developing the outline content of T-levels and currently comes under the remit of the Department for Education. It is chaired by Edward Sallis, an associate of the Education and Training Foundation and chair of the English and Maths Advisory Board of Mid-Kent College.
T-levels refer to college-based technical education programmes – the vocational equivalent of A-levels. They are not the on-the-job training provided by apprenticeships.
T-levels are grouped into 15 different groups or ‘routes’. Education and childcare is one of the first routes to go live, expected to be in 2020. The route groups different occupations together which are thought to require similar training and qualifications.
