Today we have responded to @beckyfrancis.bsky.social Curriculum and Assessment Review final report and we’re looking forward to working with the Government, teachers, leaders and education professionals on the next steps.

Here's what our CEO, Colin Hughes, said:

8 out of 10 young people believe their finances would be in better shape if they had stronger numeracy skills. Only 1% of teachers say their pupils possess adequate financial skills. At AQA we’re developing a new on-demand assessment to help with using numbers in real life situations.

It’s #NumberConfidenceWeek and this year’s theme is ‘Money Matters’.

This week, we're highlighting the importance of number confidence by showcasing resources, tools and exciting plans to help learners. Look out for a new post each day.
