Now AoC support Functional Skills

From the TES today 22/4/11

Debbie Ribchester, curriculum manager at the Association of Colleges, said: "Functional skills are certainly seen as more academically rigorous, and there may have been some initial resistance from students on courses not traditionally associated with high levels of literacy and numeracy." But she said colleges had embraced them.

And this is the same organisation that claimed colleges were unprepared for them just four months when appealing for an extension to the Key Skills qualification.
