📚 Which Qualifications Count in the 16-18 English and Maths Progress Measure? | 16至18岁英语数学进步指标纳入哪些资格
In England, every 16-18 study programme sits inside two connected rules: the condition of funding, which requires students who have not yet reached a GCSE grade 4 in English and maths to keep studying those subjects, and the English and maths progress measure, which reports how far each student has moved from their Key Stage 4 starting point by the age of 19. Both rules rely on the same restricted list of approved qualifications, and knowing exactly what is on that list - and what is not - is essential for students, teachers and international applicants who are planning a route through A levels or a vocational programme.
在英格兰,所有 16 至 18 岁的学习项目都受两条相互关联的规则约束:一是"资助条件"(condition of funding),规定尚未在英语和数学上达到 GCSE 4 分的学生必须继续学习这两科;二是"英语与数学进步指标"(English and maths progress measure),用来说明学生从关键阶段 4(Key Stage 4)的起点到 19 岁期间进步了多少。这两条规则都依赖同一份受限制的"认可资格清单"(approved qualification list)。无论是学生、教师,还是计划就读 A Level 或职业课程的国际申请者,都必须清楚这份清单上有什么、没有什么。
1. The Short Answer | 简要回答
The 16-18 English and maths progress measure counts a deliberately narrow set of qualifications: GCSE English Language, GCSE Maths, Functional Skills qualifications in English and maths from Entry Level 1 up to Level 2, ESOL qualifications for students whose first language is not English, and a small number of other English and maths qualifications that the Department for Education (DfE) approves each year.
16 至 18 岁英语与数学进步指标只计入一份刻意收窄的资格清单:GCSE 英语语言(English Language)、GCSE 数学、从入门级 1(Entry Level 1)到二级(Level 2)的英语与数学功能技能(Functional Skills)、面向母语非英语学生的 ESOL 资格,以及教育部(DfE)每年认可的少量其他英语与数学资格。
Just as importantly, the measure excludes IGCSE, AS and A levels (including A level Maths and Further Maths), Core Maths (Level 3 Mathematical Studies), English Literature taken on its own, GCSE Statistics, and international English tests such as IELTS or TOEFL.
同样重要的是,该指标不计入 IGCSE、AS 与 A Level(包括 A Level 数学与进阶数学)、Core Maths(三级数学研究)、单独的 GCSE 英语文学、GCSE 统计,以及雅思、托福等国际英语考试。
Both lists are updated annually, so the final authority is always the current DfE condition of funding guidance and the 16 to 18 accountability technical guide.
这两份清单每年都会更新,因此最终的权威依据始终是当年的 DfE 资助条件指南与 16 至 18 岁问责技术指南。
2. What the English and Maths Progress Measure Actually Is | 英语与数学进步指标到底是什么
The measure is published as part of the 16-18 performance tables (now shown in the Compare School and College Performance service). It compares the highest approved English or maths qualification a student holds at age 19 with the level they had already reached at the end of Key Stage 4, at around age 16.
该指标作为 16 至 18 岁成绩表的一部分发布(现展示于"比较学校与学院表现"服务中)。它把学生在 19 岁时持有的最高认可英语或数学资格,与其在关键阶段 4 结束、约 16 岁时已达到的水平进行比较。
It is separate from level 3 value added. Value added looks at a student's overall level 3 programme (usually three A levels or a large BTEC); the English and maths progress measure looks only at those two subjects and only at approved qualifications.
它与三级"增值"(value added)指标相互独立。增值衡量的是学生整体三级课程的表现(通常是三门 A Level 或一个大型 BTEC);而英语与数学进步指标只看这两门科目,并且只看认可资格。
The measure exists mainly because the condition of funding obliges institutions to keep teaching English and maths to students who have not yet secured a Level 2 pass, and the government wants to know whether that teaching is producing genuine progress rather than simply repeating failed GCSEs.
该指标存在的主要原因是:资助条件迫使学校必须为尚未取得二级合格成绩的学生继续开设英语和数学课,而政府希望知道这种教学是否带来了真正的进步,而不只是重复参加未通过的 GCSE 考试。
Institutions that show strong progress in English and maths are, in effect, demonstrating that their resit and stepping stone strategy works.
英语与数学进步表现良好的学校,实际上是在证明自己的重考与阶梯资格策略确实有效。
3. The Policy Behind the List: The Condition of Funding | 清单背后的政策:资助条件
Under the 16-19 study programme rules, a student aged 16 to 18 who has not yet achieved a GCSE grade 4 (or an approved Level 2 equivalent) in English and maths must continue to study those subjects as part of their programme.
根据 16 至 19 岁学习项目规则,16 至 18 岁尚未在英语和数学上取得 GCSE 4 分(或受认可的二级等效资格)的学生,必须把这两科纳入其课程继续学习。
If an institution does not enrol such a student on an approved English or maths qualification, funding for that student can be withdrawn. This is why the word "approved" matters: a school cannot satisfy the rule by teaching a generic "English support" lesson with no recognised qualification attached.
如果学校没有为这类学生注册受认可的英语或数学资格,该学生的拨款可能被撤回
