Publications
Shortly after every Westminster Education Forum seminar, a briefing document is produced. This is distributed to all delegates on the day as well as to our contacts in government, parliament and stakeholders in the education sector more widely.
A Forum publication provides a timely record of proceedings, and acts as a guide to the latest thinking on current policy issues for those unable to be at the event.
Each publication includes:
- All speeches from the day, with accompanying slides and speaker biographies
(subject to approval by speaker); - Transcripts of question and comment sessions;
- Supplementary articles from speakers and delegates; and
- Event information such as the delegate list and final agenda
The future of the qualifications and assessment system: A-Level reform and university entrance
TO BE PUBLISHED December 2010
Following the publication of the first set of A-level results since the introduction of the new A* grade, this timely seminar will examine whether A-levels are meeting the needs of students, universities and employers and look at possible alternatives. Sessions will look at the accuracy and reliability of results, whether the introduction of the new A* grade will make it easier for universities to evaluate the performance of students; if there should be a move towards a standard university entrance examination to supplement A-levels; and whether universities should play a greater role in deciding the content of A-levels.
