Consultation on GCSE Reform
Home <http://comment.ofqual.gov.uk/gcse-reform/section/home/>
This consultation covers the changes being made to current GCSE specifications in England. The specifications are to be made linear rather than modular, and greater account will be taken of spelling, punctuation and grammar in some subjects. The consultation asks specific questions on how these changes will be implemented.

Subject: Re: new GCSE
Hi
Does anyone have any information about the new GCSE for languages? As I am in the process of preparing a pack for Mandarin for current Y9 options so just wondering if I need to include info to reflect the new changes which might affect this year group by the time they sit GCSE Chinese. Many thanks,
Bao Kie
