The challenge of maths and English teaching in the Further Education and Skills Sector in England

English and maths in the FE and skills sector

The Education and Training Foundation was tasked with  implementing a new plan to improve the reach of numeracy and literacy teaching at level 2 including GCSEs in the country’s vocational education sector. The objective was to create a cohort of “work entrants” with world class numeracy and literacy skills and knowledge. CUREE, in partnership with emCETT conducted a review of the research evidence and sector-wide consultation about how this new strategy might be implemented and the vision and aspirations of the professionals working within the sector for achieving success at level two in English and Maths. 

The report of that work has been published and can be read/downloaded from here
