- DfE recommends Functional Skills
The DfE consultation entitled “study programmes for 16-19 year olds” published on 6th October and ending 5th January follows Professor Alison Wolf’s report. One of the key elements of that report was to recommend that students aged 16-19 who did not have an A*-C GCSE pass in English and maths should continue to study those subjects through to age 19.
In response to that recommendation, DfE says:
6.3 It is clear that providers will need to adapt their English and maths offer depending on the needs of students. For example:
Some young people will need an immediate, focussed intervention to turn a near miss into a GCSE pass at the first opportunity
Some may require more intensive help over a longer period (and possibly taking other qualifications en route to act as stepping stones to the GCSE)
Some, for whom GCSE success is a long way off, might be better served by taking other qualifications or programmes.
6.4 For those who need more intensive support to move towards achieving a C grade GCSE providers are best placed to determine what will meet their needs and enable them to progress. Based on level of rigour, assessment arrangements, skills taught and views of employers, the qualifications that we recommend to providers are: functional skills and free standing maths qualifications.DfE recommends Functional Skills The DfE consultation entitled “study programmes for 16-19 year olds” published on 6th October and ending 5th January follows Professor Alison Wolf’s report.
