Commenting on CEO and Chief Regulator of Ofqual, Glenys Staceys, speech today, Dr Mary Bousted, general secretary of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers (ATL), said:
“ATL welcomes the Chief Regulator’s acknowledgement that once the current programme of GCSE, AS and A-level reform is completed there needs to be a period of stability. We also welcome that Ofqual will be launching a consultation about how the exams appeal system can be improved.
“The Chief Regulator references that accreditation of Phase 2 GCSEs, AS and A-levels has been slower than hoped. Given that Phase 2 qualifications have not yet been accredited when specifications should have been in schools and colleges last month, is Ofqual still confident that its reform programme is on target?”
