Mission

Without GCSE English or maths qualifications, young people are drastically more likely to drop out of educationEvery year, around 200,000 children miss out on gateway qualifications for further study or the world of workWithout GCSE English or maths qualifications, young people are at greater risk of dropping out of education altogether. Studies suggest that missing out on a grade C in GCSE English by just one mark increases a young person’s chances of not being in education by 18 by a third.They can struggle to access higher-level qualifications, as many university courses or higher apprenticeships set English and maths GCSE at grade C or equivalent as entry requirementsAnd as adults, opportunities to progress in work are limited- some 70% of employers rate literacy and numeracy skills as one of their top considerations when recruiting school and college leavers. But Get Further is designed to change this. Get Further matches students facing challenges while studying GCSE English or maths in further education, with a first-rate tutorWe recruit talented graduates, support them with expert training, and place them in further education colleges to deliver catch-up tuition in English or maths to help students gain these key qualifications.
