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.
