2. Information: update on reformed functional skills qualifications in English and maths
In February 2018, the Department for Education (DfE) confirmed the subject content for English and maths functional skills qualifications. In July 2018, Ofqual published the rules against which they will regulate the reformed qualifications. Awarding organisations have been developing their qualifications since then.
