We recently surveyed English schools and colleges asking them about their plans to offer ‘decoupled’ AS qualifications to their students from September 2015, when changes begin to take effect.
There has been a lot of speculation on how schools and colleges might alter their post-16 curriculum once the AS is decoupled, and what impact this might have on progression and admission to higher education.
Our survey provides a unique insight into teachers’ views on all aspects of qualifications reform. In particular, the results from around 500 schools and colleges show that many have yet to decide whether to offer the new form of AS. It also examines how universities are responding to the reforms by reviewing and updating their admissions policies.
The survey has been published on ucas.com and in the Times Educational Supplement. Please contact Ben Jordan at b.jordan@ucas.ac.uk in the UCAS Policy Team if you have any questions.
