The DfE has published proposals for different rates of funding for different T Levels to reflect variations in programme size.>/p>

In a new consultation, the government outlines its proposals for how funding will be distributed to providers for the delivery of T Levels from 2020.

It plans to have a number of new funding bands to reflect the difference in the number of hours required over two years for T Levels.

In addition, the consultation sets out how the government intends to distribute the increased funding available for T Levels roll out, including:

• Recognition that T Levels will be larger programmes and will therefore attract more funding than existing study programmes
• Confirmation that additional funding will be provided to support T Level students who have not yet met the minimum English and maths requirements
• Details of how funding will be allocated to help providers set up the industry placements
• Providing extra funding for T Level students who are aged 18 to ensure that they can have the hours needed for larger T Level programmes.

The deadline for responses to the consultation is 19 February 2019.
