Ofqual and the department for education have both today released further details about their proposed reforms to GCSEs
The DfE has launched a consultation on their proposed subject content and assessment objectives for reformed GCSEs. The proposed GCSE science qualifications, for first teaching from September 2015, include options for separate awards in biology, chemistry and physics, as well as a combined dual award. Both options contain explicit requirements for the application of mathematical understanding and are intended to support progression to A-levels.
