Abstract	Over the past year, National Foundation for Educational Research (NFER) has been undertaking research on T Levels focusing on providers' preparations for the delivery of the first T Levels in Digital, Construction, and Education and Childcare, which are being delivered from September 2020. The first research report and follow-up report have highlighted positive progress, with providers being generally confident in their capacity to deliver from September. However, a number of challenges have been identified, with the awareness of school students and their parents/carers being a key area that still needs attention. Given that teachers are well placed to provide information to students and parents/carers on T Levels, NFER decided to explore their awareness of these new qualifications by including questions in the November 2019 Teacher Voice Omnibus Survey. This survey of over 700 senior leaders and classroom teachers found that, whilst most senior leaders were aware of T Levels, there was much lower awareness amongst classroom teachers. Around two-fifths of classroom teachers had heard of these new qualifications. In addition, the vast majority of respondents who were aware of T Levels were not well informed about them. As teachers can play an important role in raising the awareness of students and their parents/carers of post-16 options, more progress in informing schools about T Levels is needed. An appendix is included in the report. [For "T Levels Research: How Are Providers Preparing for Delivery? Follow-Up Report," see ED604436.] (ERIC).
