What is true? What is safe? What does it mean for society? Students will now be able to dive deep into key questions surrounding Generative AI in a significant move by Pearson – the world’s leading learning company.
New report into education across England highlights the power of digital to break barriers for students, as learners with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), anxiety and health issues sit exams online from home - using remote invigilation - for the first time in the country’s history.
Pearson, the world’s leading learning company, and Persona Education, the online personal development provider for schools and colleges, have entered into a new pilot project. Together, we’re creating a series of digital badge programmes aimed to support GCSE learners with the development of 22 social-emotional skills, or “life skills”.
IDEO, The Royal Academy of Engineering, RSA, The Ellen MacArthur Foundation, the Design Council, Future Foundations, NAEE, Students Organising for Sustainability (SOS-UK), Google, Lets Go Zero, Global Action Plan and the NSEAD are just some of the organisations having voiced support for Pearson’s plans to raise the status of design education in schools and reverse the downward trend in student uptake.
On 10 January 2023 the DfE published the latest news about the reform of post-16 level 3 vocational qualifications in England.
We are taking the time to review the government's guidance published on 10 January 2023 in full, and will be writing to our customers shortly with what this announcement means for them and their learners. Schools and colleges should be reassured that they can continue to teach most of our BTEC qualifications into the future.
Melanie Williams-Browne, Head of Tutoring, shares her view on the difference Pearson Tutoring is making to students across the country.
18th August, 2022, LONDON: Around 200,000 students receive their Level 3 BTEC results today (18th Aug), according to Pearson, the awarding body for the qualifications. Students were awarded grades ranging from a ‘Starred Distinction’ to a ‘Pass’. They will now progress into higher or further education, apprenticeships or full-time employment, often in key industries that suffer from drastic shortages of skilled, ambitious workers.
Online tutoring rose to prominence following the first Covid lockdown – and appears set to continue throughout the next academic year and beyond.
With the government’s White Paper, Opportunity for All: Strong schools with great teachers, outlining the key role of tutoring services in helping them reach their ambitious targets, and with an additional £349 million announced to support school-led tutoring in 2022/2023, it is clearly here to stay. But what will it look like?
