Online discussion on qualifications in Wales
19 Dec 2011
Are the qualifications system in Wales and the qualifications themselves fit for purpose? Join the online discussion on http://qualificationsconference.pbworks.com – the precursor to the national conference on qualifications on 2 February 2012 which will feed into the official Review of Qualifications commissioned by the Welsh Government.
The online discussion and the conference are organised by ColegauCymru / CollegesWales in partnership with the Welsh Government. Leaders, managers, teachers and learners who are involved in education and training are all invited. The focus is on the qualifications available to 14-19 year olds. Participants are likely to include further education colleges, schools, higher education institutions and independent work based learning providers, as well as awarding organisations, sector skills councils, 14-19 learning partnerships, Estyn and employer representatives.
Key points emerging from the online discussion will be fed into the national conference on qualifications. A further opportunity to contribute to the online discussion will follow the conference, with a final report on the evidence gathered being submitted to the Review’s project board by ColegauCymru. The Review’s project board is scheduled to submit its report to the Deputy Minister for Skills in autumn 2012.
