ENGLAND. Curriculum, Exam and Accountability Reform. Curriculum, Exam and Accountability Reform – 7 February Mr Speaker.
With your permission I should like to make a statement on the future of qualifications, school league tables and the national curriculum. Last September we outlined plans for changes to GCSE qualifications designed to address the grade inflation, dumbing down and loss of rigour in those examinations. We have consulted on those proposals and there is now a consensus that the system needs to change. But one of the proposals I put forward was a bridge too far. My idea that we end the competition between exam boards to offer GCSEs in core academic qualifications and have just one – wholly new – exam in each subject was just one reform too many at this time.
The exam regulator Ofqual – which has done such a great job in recent months upholding standards – was clear that there were significant risks in trying to both strengthen qualifications and end competition in a large part of the exams market. And we’re reforming A-levels. English Curriculum Consultation Respon. English Qualifications Review.
