Revealed: Our top three solutions for improving Maths and English
In the UK, colleges and training providers are faced with declining maths and English results. With reforms and stagnant funding pose significant barriers to progress, especially with Functional Skills qualifications, it’s time for change; we need to explore more!
Post-16 education providers are increasingly turning to digital tools and platforms to enhance Maths and English learning outcomes. Over the past decade, there has been a 25% increase in the adoption of online resources for maths and English but there is still work to do – and it can be overwhelming with so many solutions out there.
So, today, we present our top three partner solutions aimed at helping colleges and training providers increase pass rates and enhance engagement.
