Disgrifiad o'r contract
In January 2020, the Welsh Government published the updated version of the new Curriculum for Wales.
The new curriculum will be introduced for first teaching to learners in year 6 and below in Wales from September 2022.
Given the changes to the curriculum in terms of organisation, structure, aims, purposes and content, qualifications taken by learners at 16 will need to be reformed where appropriate in order to complement, and better reflect, the new curriculum. These qualifications will be first taught from September 2025, with the first award likely to occur in summer 2027.
QW has launched a series of public consultations seeking views on the reform of qualifications taken by learners at 16. We are using the findings from each consultation to inform and support the development and reform of qualifications.
The third engagement/consultation on GCSEs will take place between 4 October and 16 December 2022 and it will be a 10-week consultation. There will also be a second piece of work linked to the Qualified for the Future work on the wider offer of qualifications that will take place between January 2023 and March 2023 (date tbc).
For the GCSE piece of work, the Supplier will be required to:
1. Design the young people’s versions of the proposals at a glance and create Welsh and English versions (27 subjects will require Welsh and English versions of a length of around 300-400 words each)
2. Produce the young people’s version of the consultation survey questions (in both Welsh and English). The design to include the adaptation of text and questions from the standard version of the proposals at a glance, and selection of appropriate visuals appropriate to these audiences.
3. Produce a report for publication on the Qualifications Wales website, (in Welsh and English) in a young people’s version.
The wider offer of qualifications will require a youth friendly version of the consultation and survey questions.
The Supplier will be required to:
1. Design the young people’s version of the consultation in Welsh and English.
2. Produce the young people version of the consultation survey questions (in Welsh and English). The design to include the adaptation of text and questions from the standard version of the proposals at a glance, and selection of appropriate visuals appropriate to these audiences.
3. Produce a report for publication on the Qualifications Wales website, including summary of findings, (in Welsh and English) in a young people’s version.
