    As we welcome in the New Year,  we’re looking back at what students, tutors and sector leaders told us about post-16 English and maths - and what this means for the year ahead.

    Through Resit Rethink, Let’s Talk English, the Pearson School Report, national forums and our summer roundtable, we heard directly from thousands of students and practitioners across secondary and further education.
