My understanding from a Key Stages Course led by Sue Parker and from Sue Hawthorne from Warwickshire LEA in a conference last week in Leicestershire that GNVQ Intermediate may have a further 4 years due to heavy lobbying from schools who have taken up the Thomas Telford ICT GNVQ.  Over 1000 schools are believed to have subscribed. (This figure might include those doing the Brook Wesyton scheme! !)

Subject: Re: Edexcel and GNVQ

Does anyone know what edexcel are doing about intermediate GNVQ? Literature from Edexcel states clearly enough that VGCSE will replace part 1 and a QCA web page on the consultation process states that VGCSE is intended to replace Part 1, Foundation and Intermediate GNVQ.
 
A colleague phoned Edexcel earlier today to be told that Intermediate GNVQ was not being replaced by VGCSE. Unaware of the earlier call I phoned Customer Services later in the day to be told that it definitely was replacing all three qualifications. Needless to say planning and promotion for Sept 2002 is rendered difficult!
 
Can anyone help?
