    The act was aimed at terrorising and dividing – a calm, united, law-abiding response is the strongest way that we can deal with the immediate and longer term impact.

Press Release

Ofqual statement on proposed changes to A levels

3 April 2012

Glenys Stacey, Ofqual Chief Executive, comments:

"Ofqual welcomes the intention to give universities a larger role in the design and development of A-levels.

"We have been working with DfE on this, and will be publishing shortly our reply to the Secretary of State's letter, as well as a research report into HE views of A levels.

"We want A levels to be the best possible preparation for young people's futures. We have spoken to employers, those in schools and in higher education and they tell us that A levels need to cover sufficient depth and breadth so that students can hit the ground running when they go on to the next stage of their lives.

"We think that universities have a big role to play in making sure they do. We have also compared A levels with qualifications in other countries.

"We will now continue our consultations with higher education, colleges and schools and others to make sure our A levels are the best they can be."
