Trawl for Dearing clues

Universities, colleges and schools across Britain are to be consulted on the reform of qualifications for 16-19-year-olds.

They are to be asked for their views on how changes proposed by Sir Ron Dearing in the concluding report on this 16-19 review should be introduced.

A questionnaire is being issued on behalf of the School Curriculum and Assessment Authority and the National Council for Vocational Qualifications which spells out the proposals and inviting comments.
