Technical Education Learner Survey: Announcement of Publication

Technical Education in the UK: insights from the latest learner experiences.

The latest insights from the ongoing Technical Education Learner Survey are now available.

With the announcement of V Levels on the horizon and now up to 20 T Level subjects to choose from, these findings come at a key time for the UK government’s technical education strategy to develop a skilled workforce.

The newly released Technical Education Learner Survey report, commissioned by DfE and conducted by Ipsos UK, investigates T Level learners’ experiences of their course and what they have progressed to since finishing it. The report also focuses on the experiences and next steps of learners who took a T Level Foundation Year and a Level 4 or 5 technical qualification. 

The findings come from the recent survey of technical education learners who did their course in the autumn 2023 to summer 2024 academic year.
