This report finds that Functional Skills Qualifications are not currently doing the job they set out to do, and are severely under-funded.
As a result, the country is funding qualifications that bear increasingly little relevance to the workplace scenarios they were designed to map to, in a way that blurs the line between academic and vocational learning styles.
We simply cannot sustain the rate of losses incurred in delivering these qualifications which result in learners disadvantaged.
