Notice Title

Post-16 English GCSE/FSQ Resit - Further Education Workforce Continuous Professional Development

Notice Description

DfE has previously published its commitments to Further Education (FE) providers in the Skills for Jobs: Lifelong Learning for Opportunity and Growth White Paper. The paper identifies a need to ensure all FE providers are well managed, governed and have the best quality teachers and lecturers. In doing so, we will ensure that post-16 further education students have access to world-class technical and vocational education, providing the skills both individuals and employers need for the future economy. Achieving a level 2 qualification in both maths and English, through GCSE or Functional Skills Qualifications (FSQs), helps students to progress to further study, training and skilled employment. The maths and English Condition of Funding ('resit' policy) ensures that all 16 to 19-year-olds have the best chance of achieving this standard and get the necessary support to do so. DfE is committed to this policy and therefore it is important that teachers in Further Education providers have access to the best development which focuses on the skills needed to help resit learners achieve their potential.
