This research project covers at least three of the DTP's disciplines/pathways, including the Education, Economics, and Quantitative Social Science pathways. Below is a summary of the proposed research (sourced from the supervisors' initial proposal):The government has recently introduced a new type of qualification known as the T Level. T Levels are technical courses which are equivalent to 3 A levels, but offer a mixture of classroom learning and 'on-the-job' experience. Their aim is to improve the quality of technical education available to young people to meet labour market needs and provide the skills and knowledge to improve young people's productivity, later wages and, hence, life chances.However, to date, little is known about how effective these new qualifications are for improving the life chances of young people, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds. This quantitative research project aims to fill this research gap. The project will use administrative data on educational pathways taken by young people to identify the types of students taking T Levels, and track them through their educational careers, analysing their success rates, and their progression into further and higher education and beyond. We are particularly interested in how those from disadvantaged backgrounds are impacted by T levels.

该研究项目涵盖至少三个 DTP 学科/途径，包括教育、经济学和定量社会科学途径。以下是拟议研究的摘要（源自监管机构的初步提案）： 政府最近推出了一种称为 T 级别的新型资格。 T 级别是技术课程，相当于 3 个 A 级别，但提供课堂学习和“在职”经验的结合。他们的目标是提高年轻人获得的技术教育质量，以满足劳动力市场的需求，并提供技能和知识，以提高年轻人的生产力、日后工资，从而提高生活机会。然而，迄今为止，人们对如何实现这一目标知之甚少。这些新资格有效地改善了年轻人，特别是来自弱势背景的年轻人的生活机会。该定量研究项目旨在填补这一研究空白。该项目将利用年轻人接受的教育途径的管理数据来确定参加 T Level 课程的学生类型，并跟踪他们的教育生涯，分析他们的成功率以及他们进入继续教育、高等教育等的进展。我们特别感兴趣的是那些来自弱势背景的人如何受到 T 水平的影响。
