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.

Policy Watch is a regular policy briefing and updating service that keeps everyone up to date with the latest developments in the world of education. It is presented in a simple, accessible format through weekly updates, monthly summaries and associated papers and presentations.
Education Secretary Gillian Keegan gave evidence to the Education Committee for the first time this week, covering strike impact mitigation, the possibility of an undergraduate apprenticeship for maths and physics teaching, social mobility in grammar schools, and how conversations surrounding Rishi Sunak’s British Baccalaureate proposal are currently focused on maths to 18. She also announced that the Schools Bill will not progress any further.
The top story of the past fortnight was the appointment of a new DfE ministerial team, with Gillian Keegan becoming the fifth Education Secretary in four months. Joining her in the Education Department are veteran Schools Minister Nick Gibb, former Chair of the Education Select Committee Robert Halfon, existing Minister for the School and College system Baroness Barran, and Sunak supporter Claire Coutinho.
Policy Watch returns after a summer break, and against a continuing backdrop of political upheaval. Despite the rapid unravelling of Liz Truss’ premiership, it was a busy week in the education policy world with various data releases, funding announcements, and the Government’s response to the review of post-16 level 2 qualifications (which included an implementation delay of a year). With a new Prime Minister announced next week, we expect further changes in the DfE ministerial team – and so next Monday’s Education questions in Parliament could be the first and last for the current set of ministers.
