EFA Condition of Funding

Created

None

Hi, 

Just seeking some clarification on the condition of funding for learners who have achieved a grade 3 or 2 at GCSE (Level 1 attainment). Whilst the guidance states part-time learners need to be enrolled on any qualification approved to meet the condition of funding.

If the learners initial assessment results and/or diagnostic results show that the learner is working towards level 1 or below are they able to be enrolled at the level they have already attained or should this be the level above their prior attainment?

 

Thanks,

Initial assessment of current levels is not included in the condition of funding for M/E although may be used to determine what qualification is applicable where there is no specific qualification that they should undertake.

  1. Students with a grade 2 or below in maths or English can study towards a pass in functional skills level 2 (legacy or reformed) or they can still study towards a GCSE grade 9 to 4. Once they have achieved this, there is no requirement to undertake further maths or English qualifications to meet the condition of funding.
  2. Full time students with a grade 3 must still study an eligible GCSE qualification in order to meet the condition of funding.
  3. Part time students with a grade 3 can still study any qualification approved to meet the condition of funding as a stepping stone towards achieving a GCSE grade 9 to 4.
