The Curriculum and Assessment Review gives us and the wider sector the opportunity to share our views on how curriculum and assessment can bring together a love of learning with fundamental knowledge and skills.
Our brand-new research with Cebr outlines how investment in digital transformation for state-funded UK schools could make a difference to the future of education and our economy.
We’re drawing on our experience of delivering onscreen assessments in more than 115 countries to shape what’s next for GCSE, International GCSE and A level exams.
As well as already offering onscreen exams in selected subjects, we're working alongside the education community to harness technology where it can positively impact schools' and students' assessment experiences.
Generative AI brings into focus the importance of the most human skills, such as creativity and critical thinking.

We believe that exams should be a fair and accurate reflection of students’ performance – regardless of whether an exam is taken onscreen or on paper.
That’s why our research focuses on many aspects of comparability – including student performance across paper and digital exams.
We believe that all students should be able to best show what they know and can do in exams – regardless of whether the exam is taken onscreen or on paper.
That’s why we’re continuously researching and gathering feedback to better understand and inform how we can enhance accessibility and inclusion in exams – including through text styling and formatting.
We believe that exams should be a fair and accurate reflection of students’ performance – regardless of whether an exam is taken onscreen or on paper.
That’s why our research programme not only focuses on comparability of student performance, but also explores if and how marking may compare between paper and digital exams formats.
Pearson, the world’s lifelong learning company, will become one of the British Army’s largest apprenticeship partners, after winning three new contracts to deliver the courses with the UK’s Ministry of Defence.
The Army is one of the biggest apprenticeship providers in the country, giving learners the opportunity to gain new skills and knowledge beyond combat. An army apprenticeship provider since 2010, Pearson TQ will now hold six contracts in total - delivering logistics, healthcare, intelligence, business admin and HR, construction, engineering, policing and veterinary services programmes to around 4,000 learners each year.
The new contracts will see Pearson TQ providing apprenticeships in the following sectors of the armed forces over the next six years:
Martyn Leader, Vice President of Pearson TQ, said:
“We are delighted to extend our long-standing and successful partnership with British Army apprentices. These new contracts are another step forwards on Pearson’s journey to build on its early careers offer. From logistics and business admin, to catering or veterinary care, these courses are a fantastic path for a diverse range of learners who want to earn while they learn, boost their skillsets and open doors to new opportunities and career paths.”
A spokesperson for the Army said:
“Apprenticeships are fundamental to the Army recruiting offer with over 95% of new joiners enrolling on an apprenticeship. This is the first step of a soldier’s learning journey, the Army invests significantly in skills, education and training through apprenticeships and pathways to higher education. This enables us to create high-performing and technologically astute operators for the future workforce. We look forward to continuing our relationship with Pearson TQ.”
Having seen first-hand the power of technology to transform education and help young people develop the skills they need to thrive in work and life, we welcome the government’s package of measures as an important step toward closing the digital divide in education.
Pearson has been awarded two new contracts to deliver T Levels in Health and Science, strengthening their position as the largest provider of these technical qualifications in the UK.
