Have you thought about persuading you IT department to start using the Key
Skill in IT qualification as a means of assessing IT at the end of Key Stage
4. It is accepted by DFEE and QCA as a recognised form of assessment and will
give your students a boost towards achievement in GNVQs, NVQs and towards
points for HE. The word is that this will become the preferred assessment for
the new National Curriculum in the year 2000. I operate through Edexcel and
students can study at Entry level, Level 1, Level 2 (needed for the National
Traineeship) or Level 3 (needed for the Modern Apprenticeship).
Yours sincerely
John Shircliff
