Ofqual have released a statement regarding vocational and technical courses qualifications. They state that ‘For the wide range of vocational and technical qualifications (VTQs) used for progression and taken in schools, colleges and training providers, we are considering how similar arrangements to those set out for GCSEs, AS and A levels could be applied. Some form of teacher calculated grade, or other form of estimation based on assessment that has already taken place, will be possible in many cases.’ They are working with the DfE and the wider sector to develop and publish a clear approach soon. Comment on this statement can be read here.
