...In January, before the draft curriculum was published, the
previous head of Qualifications Wales admitted that the new
curriculum could mean an end to GCSEs in the longer term and more
reforms in the short term. How, or to what extent, those
qualifications will change is still up for discussion, but needless
to say that that was met with opposition from some in the education
profession. For example, the Association of School and College
Leaders have been quite clear that, and I quote, it is
important to understand that these results come at a time of
enormous change in the Welsh education system, which has included a
huge overhaul of GCSE specifications. They went on to say that it
is vital to get this right so that we are in the best position
possible to implement the even more ambitious reforms that are
planned to the Welsh curriculum over the next few
years. Moving forward, the Minister has consulted on plans for
the new curriculum, and perhaps she'll take the opportunity this
afternoon to tell us a bit more about the Welsh Government's plans
in this specific area.
