Following the recent furore surrounding the L3 requirements for Maths and English GCSE the workforce review changed the requirements for English and Mathematics qualifications. The Government is now reforming the functional skills qualifications with the aim of improving their relevance and credibility in the labour market. There is a consultation open asking questions on the proposed content for all five qualification levels in mathematics and English. The consultation will run from 12 September until 07 November 2017.
