Back in 2020, we published the Diversity and Inclusion in Schools report, one of our most impactful and widely viewed resources.
Now, as we approach the five-year milestone, we’re excited to launch the next report in the series.

We’ve just launched our highly anticipated 2024 Pearson School Report, which brings together over 12,000+ teacher, student and sector voices on education – the challenges, solutions in action, and opportunities for the future.
Our flagship report draws on the views of over 6,000 students, teachers, employers and experts to shape recommendations on how we shape the future of qualifications and assessment in England for 14–19-year-olds.
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.
Over the past few months, we have been working with educators and organisations to drive forward fundamental change to design education in schools.
Starting with an ambitous call to action for the future of design education, we have since collaborated with teachers, industry partners and organisations to evolve our thinking, and have recently shared our vision for a curriculum focused towards Responsible Design and Innovation.
On the 12 December 2024, the DfE published the outcome of their review of post-16 qualification reform.
The aim of the review was to determine which qualifications will be funded for 16-19 learners in England for the 2025/26 academic year.
These sessions are for centres in England and will focus on the impact of Government reforms on post 16 qualifications and funding.
Attendees will hear our latest updates in response to Government's announcement (scheduled for December) after the pause and review and have the opportunity to ask questions.
We are pleased to announce that funding has been approved for the New BTEC Level 3 qualifications that we submitted in July 2023 as part of the Post-16 Level 3 vocational qualification reform.
The 12 new qualifications are across Science, ICT and Computing, Construction, Early Years, Health and Social Care and Engineering.
The new, 2024 Pearson Edexcel GCSE French, German and Spanish Qualifications are here! Our qualifications focus on building communication confidence and cultural understanding from a foundation of strong vocabulary knowledge to broaden students’ perspectives and opportunities.
Every trust has a unique set of needs. That’s why we’ll work with you to create the best package of teaching, learning and training solutions for your schools, teachers and learners.
We’re proud to be leading the way in diversifying the English curriculum.
A truly diverse curriculum is about more than just the texts on a specification. Which is why, for the past three years, we’ve been working with schools, publishers, and academics to make a real difference.
Our work in classrooms and education communities across the country is underpinned by three core beliefs. These beliefs lay the foundations for not only what we have already done in supporting schools with successfully diversifying the curriculum, but what we’ll continue to do.
“How do we use it well? What can we use it for? What are the pros and cons?” These are just a few of the elements secondary students want to learn about when it comes to Generative AI, with three quarters believing it’s important to learn about AI and the role it will play in the future.
Dr Ben Dunn - Head of Impact and Insights, Magic Breakfast
Pearson’s 2020 report on diversity and inclusion in schools brought to light significant findings that directly resonated with Magic Breakfast’s mission of ensuring that no child starts their school day too hungry to learn. Diversity and inclusion are not just about what is taught, but also how schools support every child to thrive both academically and personally.
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.

There has been a lot going on this week, with publications and data drops as the government approaches the Easter recess. This included a policy paper from DfE on AI in education, schools capital announcements, and support for disadvantaged pupils (more in Top Stories).
This week the National Foundation for Educational Research (NFER) published a new report revealing that the number of teacher vacancies posted by schools was 93% higher in the academic year up to February 2023, than at the same point in the year before the pandemic. The report calls for a long-term strategy on teacher pay to halt what it describes as a growing workforce crisis, as figures indicate that the initial teacher training (ITT) recruitment target is likely to be missed again.
This week the Chancellor delivered his first full Budget, with a number of announcements around education and skills. This included the establishment of ‘returnerships’, a new offer promoting existing skills interventions to the over-50s; the enhancement of the existing Mid-life MOT strategy, which covers careers guidance; the delivery of 12 new investment zones which will have access to funding for skills and apprenticeships; investment in childcare; and increased devolution to Greater Manchester and the West Midlands. Following the Budget, the Government published details of the new ‘trailblazer deeper devolution deals’ for Greater Manchester and the West Midlands.
