  • Tackling Maths Anxiety: Building Confidence in Every Classroom

    Maths is more than numbers—it’s a gateway to understanding the world, solving problems, and unlocking future opportunities. Yet for many students, teachers, and even parents, maths can be a source of stress and fear. At Pearson, we believe that maths anxiety shouldn’t stand in the way of learning. That’s why we’ve launched a campaign to support confidence in maths across the UK.

  • Let's Talk English: Are Song Lyrics Literature?

    By Dr JT Welsch, University of York

    When Bob Dylan won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2016, the awarding committee said it was ‘for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition.’ In the official press announcement, they added: ‘He can be read and should be read, and is a great poet in the English tradition.’ It’s one thing to describe song lyrics as ‘poetic’ – a vague descriptor we apply to many creative forms. It’s another thing to call someone who is primarily a songwriter a ‘poet’ while awarding them the world’s most prestigious prize for ‘literature’.

  • A conversation in progress - shaping the future of English

    When we launched our Let’s Talk English campaign earlier this year, our purpose was clear: to create an open space for the education community to explore how GCSE English teaching, learning and assessment could evolve to better serve every student. 

    We didn’t start with answers or predetermined solutions; we started with questions — and an invitation for teachers, students and education leaders to share their experiences, insights and ideas about what English could become.
