📢 Following an amazing attendance at the 14th UK Festival of Education held at Wellington College, we are proud to announce that AQA will continue its support of #EducationFest as Headline Partner for a further three years. As Headline Partner, we’ve secured a fantastic opportunity to continue to listen, learn and engage with the teaching community, making sure that you are part of the conversation on how we can work and learn together to shape the future of education. It’s a priority at AQA that we continue to support our teachers, helping them and their students realise their full potential. Having the opportunity to meet and engage with you in person at events like the Festival of Education enables us to connect more than ever before. At the heart of what we offer is providing support and services that enable learning, and our Headline Partnership gives you a chance to meet face-to-face with the dedicated teams at AQA, who strive to always develop better assessment and improved support to teachers and students. Events like these help us demonstrate that we are more than an exam board. By placing teachers – our customers – front and centre, and by using our world-class research and expertise, we not only stay relevant in the assessment world, but we also help define it. The Festival of Education helps us tell this story directly to teachers and stakeholders right across the education sector. Thank you to #EducationFest and EducationScape for allowing us this continued opportunity for partnership, innovation and being at the heart of the conversation. We look forward to the next three years of inspiring and innovating, together. If you would like to join in and help us shape tomorrow, register your interest here. ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eNZ2etFq

Our director of external affairs, Reza Schwitzer, was delighted to contribute to this important report about digital education.
“Young people will have been failed if action is not taken” Earlier this week, we released the Mind The Gap report - the product of Cheltechne, a symposium held in partnership with QA Ltd and sponsored by National Grid Electricity Distribution at Cheltenham Science Festival in June 2024, where key stakeholders gathered to produce a roadmap to close the digital skills gap. The report's signatories include figures from across the digital education sectors, from schools and academia to industry and the third sector. It is the first time such a range of organisations have agreed a joint position on the future of the nation’s digital education. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eNEcjzqR

On Thursday, more than 100,000 A-level maths students will find out their results - 11.4% more than last year. Why the upturn? Dr Chinwe N., AQA Education Insights Lead and former maths teacher, looks at the story behind the data in a fascinating blog. She writes: “With the International Data Corporation predicting that “90% of organisations worldwide will feel the pain of the IT skills crisis,” could young people be actively re-assessing their choice of qualifications to align with the needs of the job market?”
A-level maths students hit six figures – what’s behind its popularity?

We started the week with a fascinating and insightful meeting of our Expert Steering Group on Numeracy. Members of the group had the opportunity to sample some of our numeracy questions, providing vital feedback which we can factor in to the ongoing development of the assessment. Important discussions followed, examining how the numeracy assessment could work in non-mainstream settings, including alternative provision.
