IfL congratulates GCSE teachers in further education

Following the publication of GCSE results today, the Institute for Learning (IfL) congratulates all teachers of GCSEs in further education for their work to help thousands of young people and adults gain GCSE qualifications.

Lee Davies, deputy chief executive at IfL, said, "Today we celebrate the successes of all those who have passed their GCSEs. The media focus will be on schools, but many of the learners are young people and adults who have studied in further education: young people improving or adding to the qualifications they took at school; adults studying after a break from education, through general interest or to open new career opportunities.

"Thanks to the excellent subject and teaching skills of teachers in FE, thousands of learners succeed in getting the qualifications they need for further study, employment and to enrich their lives. The role that FE teachers play in helping them on the path to further success should not be overlooked."
