What are T-levels and what are the grades worth?

T-levels are vocational qualifications in the United Kingdom that students can pursue as an alternative to A-levels. They are designed to take two years to complete and are recognized as equivalent to three A-levels in terms of progression to higher education or employment. T-levels emphasize practical, hands-on training combined with classroom learning, covering subjects such as digital, construction, health, and engineering. Students typically spend 80 percent of their time in practical training and 20 percent in the classroom. The qualifications are graded as Pass, Merit, or Distinction.
