A recent report reveals that nearly one in three T-level students in health and science drop out within their first year, significantly higher than other qualifications. The Education Policy Institute (EPI) highlights a dropout rate of 31% for health students, exacerbated by issues with exam quality in 2022. Critics, including Ofsted and the government’s education committee, lament the program’s inconsistent teaching and lack of robust work placements. While T-levels aim to prepare students for careers in sectors like healthcare, many feel inadequately supported, raising alarms about the future workforce amid ongoing nursing shortages.
