You will have the opportunity to hear about the changes to the current literacy, numeracy and ESOL qualifications. New qualifications to meet the entry requirement for teacher education programmes and for joint literacy and ESOL qualifications will also be introduced. You may have contributed to the survey of new guidance on the qualifications for employers in February and you will hear how that is developing.
