14-19 Curriculum Review, Impact on the Offer and Learner Choice

29 12 2006

Margaret Wright, Adviser for ICT, QCA

The Education and Skills white papers proposed reviews of the ICT curriculum and ICT general qualifications in schools, including GCSE and GCE A Level. In addition, two new qualifications were proposed, one for functional skills in ICT and another, the specialised diploma in ICT. These changes are due for implementation in 2008 and 2009. This session will explore the curriculum and qualifications proposals and prompt thinking about what they might mean for the learner.

Update:

Thanks to Leon for filming this session on this Learning 4 Life website (see comment)

This is the clearest exposition of what QCA is doing that I’ve heard. Thanks, Margaret, and thanks to Leon for capturing it. This should be essential viewing for all concerned with the curriculum.
