The introduction of new Diplomas is a central pillar of the Government’s plans for 14-19 education reform. The Diplomas are being progressively introduced in a variety of subject areas with national entitlement for all learners in England in September 2013.
Diplomas will be offered as part of 4 learning pathways for young people:
1. GCSEs and A levels
2. Diplomas
3. Apprenticeships
4. Foundation Learning Tier
They will be available at Foundation (level 1), Higher (level 2) and Advanced (level3) levels.
Diplomas have several key features:
- They blend general knowledge with applied and practical learning
- They are a composite qualifications relating to sectors of the economy and comprise principal learning, generic learning and additional and specialist learning
- They are curriculum based
- They will be delivered by consortia of schools and colleges who will engage with employers and higher education to support delivery
- They will require a learner to do a minimum of 10 days work experience.
