More on the Diplomas

Apparently, according to Ofsted, just one in three students who started a Diploma two years ago have passed.

It isn't the main learning, it's Functional Skills which is causing problems.

Sorry, but we've been saying this for several years now, teaching Functional Skills is hard but passing is just so worthwhile as can be seen from the success that the Diploma students are getting in new careers and apprenticeships.

I will keep saying it, just because it's hard, doesn't mean to say it's not worthwhile.
