Ofqual is asking teachers, and other stakeholders, for their views on controlled assessments in GCSE qualifications

As previously announced, they have launched a review of controlled assessment on a subject by subject basis. Ofqual say 'we know that, although controlled assessment has some benefits over coursework, it presents problems for schools in managing the practical arrangements across subjects and there are concerns about its impact on teaching and learning.'
