At Pearson, we are committed to making education inclusive and accessible to all learners regardless of their gender, race, ethnicity, identity, educational needs or language requirements. This is at the heart of everything we do.
We believe that the Geography curriculum should be representative and inclusive of all learners. Diversity and inclusion is an ongoing journey for us, which is why we’re committed to ensuring increased diversity and inclusion in our Geography qualifications, assessments and teaching materials.
We are engaging with expert subject stakeholders including teachers, higher education academics and young people to gather their views on what our qualifications and resources should look like in the future.
We believe that the History curriculum should be representative and inclusive of all learners, and reflect the ways that Britain has been shaped by its interactions with the wider world.
We believe that all students should be able to best show what they know and can do in exams – regardless of whether the exam is taken onscreen or on paper.
That’s why we’re continuously researching and gathering feedback to better understand and inform how we can enhance accessibility and inclusion in exams – including through text styling and formatting.
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.
