Alternative arrangements for the award of VTQs and other general qualifications in 2021

29/01/2021
ASCL response to the DfE and Ofqual consultation on alternative arrangements for the award of VTQs and other general qualifications in 2021. 
 
ASCL welcomes the opportunity to contribute to this consultation and we have consulted widely
with our members.

ASCL believes the following key points must guide the alternative arrangements for exams
and assessments for VTQs and other general qualifications in 2021:
  1. Fairness for all
  2. Consistency of approach between awarding organisations
  3. An open and transparent appeals system

In addition, we believe strongly that the final outcome of the consultation must be delivered
in a timely manner and with very clear guidance about the way forward for assessment and
certification in 2021.
