About

The Department for Education awarded a contract to Natcen for the design, delivery, and analysis of a set of closely related surveys from 2021 to 2024 to inform the evaluation of Technical Education reforms.

The surveys included a three-wave longitudinal survey with the first two cohorts of T Level learners, a two-wave longitudinal survey with one cohort of A Level and vocational Level 2 and 3 learners as a non-T Level comparator group, a one-wave survey of early Transition Programme learner cohorts, a two-wave longitudinal survey of a cohort of pre-reform Higher Technical Education learners, and a two-wave longitudinal survey of a cohort of Institutes of Technology learners.

The surveys captured learner characteristics, course perceptions and experiences, and short-term outcomes.

The contract value was £793,177.
