Recommendation 47

47 Paragraph: 188

Create numeracy qualification for students missing Level 4 GCSE Mathematics grades

Recommendation
An A level maths qualification will evidently not be appropriate for all students. A level 3 core maths qualification provides applied, real-world maths skills, including financial skills, and we believe that more students should have the opportunity to study this qualification. The Government should consider a qualification or accreditation in numeracy for those who currently miss out on level 4 grades as an alternative to repeated retakes of GCSE Mathematics.
