Government must change this failed and costly policy which shows that three-quarters of young people who failed to achieve a GCSE in English and maths at age 16, have still not achieved them by age 19 despite multiple attempts. FE professionals should be allowed to choose the most appropriate qualification linked to a student's intended destination. The AoC, AELP, and ASCL have called for the policy to be scrapped, with Ofsted stating that there are "serious questions" about it. Let's change it!
