Amplification of the standards

I got all excited this morning when I opened up the 14-19 newsletter and saw that Amplification of the Funstional Skills standards hidden at the bottom of the newsletter.

Great, let's read it now I thought - 6 hours later and 148 pages and the amplification is now clear! I really do feel sorry for those people who have to plough through this - I mean, what has to be 148 pages long? It's simply too long to make sense and certainly so long that the majority of practitioners will not read it.

So if you're a teacher in a school who has just been asked to teach Functional Skills and you ask for guidance ....... you can see where I'm going.
