Whilst the reports do not mention Functional Skills specifically, a key part of the Wolf report was that students aged 16+ would continue their Maths and English education until they left school or college or had passed GCSE at grade C or above. What we are waiting to see is how the Government will respond - will they make everyone do GCSE or will functional Skills become a key plank in the strategy of improving skills - also reported by the CBI today.

Still no public statements from ALP about Key Skills being a part of Apprentice programmes though - maybe the journalists should be asking ALP why this is the case?
