Earlier this year, we announced our ambition to offer onscreen options for GCSE English exams.*
Building on the success of our onscreen GCSE and International GCSE exams to date, we’re excited to be opening up more ways for students to best show what they know and can do in GCSE English Language, GCSE English Literature and GCSE English Language 2.0.

For the first time, A level students can explore key questions around AI as part of a new learning pathway in our Pearson Edexcel Extended Project Qualification. With EPQ:AI, students can critically analyse and explore trending tools like Chat GPT and their outputs while gaining key skills for the future.
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.
Find out more about how we’re thinking about the impact of GenAI and AI literacy in education.
Personal and unfiltered, our Diversity Defined series shines a light on the perspectives of educators and experts from across the sector, exploring what diversity in education means and how it can be realised.

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.
We believe that all students should be able to best show what they know and can do in exams – regardless of whether those exams are taken onscreen or on paper, and irrespective of each student’s unique background, ability or needs.
That’s why we’ve been using a range of methods to research how different learners with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) experience digital assessments. The findings can help us better understand if, where, and how technology can enhance accessibility and inclusion in exams.

Pearson’s Managing Director of School Assessment and Qualification, Sharon Hague, penned an article about efforts to broaden the curriculum for Schools Week recently.
Her article discusses the importance of creating a broader curriculum without waiting for the outcomes of the Curriculum and Assessment Review. While dramatic curriculum changes might grab attention, lasting progress is more likely to come from steady, incremental adjustments.
We believe in the power of education – and the role of the education system – to prepare all young people, regardless of background, to have successful and fulfilling futures in life, work and study.
