answer text <p>Literacy and numeracy are the foundation for all achievement in education and critical for work and everyday life. We have set a clear expectation that having a good level of English and maths should be the norm.</p><p> </p><p>Learners who did not achieve a Level 2 in English and maths by the age of 16 are now required to continue to study those subjects post-16 and from September all 16-19 full-time students starting their study programme who have a grade D GCSE or equivalent in these subjects must be enrolled on a GCSE or approved IGCSE qualification in maths and/ or English.</p><p> </p><p>We have embedded English and maths within our core programmes for young people. Our Traineeships programme for young people puts English and maths at its core, alongside work preparation and work experience. All apprentices without level 2 qualifications in English and Maths are now required to work towards and take them.</p><p> </p><p>We fully fund all adults to achieve their first English and maths GCSE as well as any other qualifications which will help them find and sustain employment.</p><p> </p><p>We are improving qualifications to ensure they are relevant and robust. We have reformed English and maths GCSEs and are reviewing Functional Skills. We have invested over £30m to ensure that the Further Education workforce has the skills it needs to teach these subjects to a high level.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>

answer text <p>The Government takes note of the Commission’s findings and recommendations. Latest Labour Market Statistics showed female employment in the UK is at its highest ever rate (68.6%), which makes it the 5<sup>th</sup> highest female employment rate in the EU.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The Government is committed to helping working women and families. In the last Parliament legislation was enacted which enables eligible working parents to share up to 50 weeks of leave and up to 37 weeks of pay where the mother ends her maternity leave and/or her maternity pay early so that she can opt into the new Shared Parental Leave and Pay system with the child’s father or her partner. All employees who have 26 weeks continuous service with their employer in the UK also now have the right to request flexible working. These measures enable eligible employees to better balance work with other commitments, including childcare.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The UK Government is also providing women and families with additional childcare support:</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>- Currently funding 15 hours a week of free childcare for all 3 and 4 year olds, and for the 40% most disadvantaged 2 year olds.</p><p> </p><p>- Committing to giving working parents of 3 and 4 year olds 30 hours of free childcare a week, with implementation starting in some areas in September 2016.</p><p> </p><p>- Providing support for childcare costs of people on lower incomes, up to 70% of costs under the childcare element on working tax credits, which will rise to 85% from April 2016 under Universal Credit.</p><p> </p><p>- Introducing Tax Free Childcare which will provide up to 1.8 million families across the UK with up to £2,000 of childcare support per year, per child.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>

This exception to copyright protection has existed in UK law for over a hundred years, and represents an important freedom for photographers and film-makers, whether amateur or professional.</p><p> </p><p>The Government does not support any restriction to this exception, such as a requirement that prohibits commercial use without prior consent.
