A new report shows that the gap in the percentage of disadvantaged and non-disadvantaged 16 year olds achieving a grade 4 or above in English and maths is much wider than previously estimated.
Research by FFT Education Datalab found an increasing number of pupils, both disadvantaged and non-disadvantaged, leaving mainstream schools last year for an unknown destination. In total, 24,600 disappeared from school rolls compared with 22,000 in the previous year, amid concern around “off-rolling”, whereby schools remove difficult or low-achieving pupils so that they are not included in their GCSE results.
The Education and Training Foundation is delighted to open up bookings for its fully subsidised, face-to-face CfEM Reimagining FE Maths conference that will take place on Friday 24 March 2023 10am – 3.30pm in central Birmingham.
This review of the evidence base for interventions intended to improve numeracy skills among adults aims to inform the development of policy in this area as part of the Multiply programme.
Check out the Skills for Life Network E-News Update January 2023 for a round up of what’s new and what’s happening in maths, English, ESOL and digital skills in the FE and Training sector.
