Teachers need to know that the new qualifications will assist them in helping their learners make progress in their lives.  \nWhen these changes were first proposed we were approached by Pearson to join an‘Expert Panel’ that would advise them on the development of the new qualifications. We were chosen, either because of our expertise in the UK education system, or because of our experience in reforming qualifications in other systems around the world as diverse as Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia and a number of countries across Europe.  \nWe have guided Pearson through what we judge to be a rigorous qualification development process that has included:  \n• Extensive international comparability of subject content against the highestperforming jurisdictions in the world  \n• Benchmarking assessments against UK and overseas providers to ensure that they are at the right level of demand  \n• Establishing External Subject Advisory Groups, drawing on independent subjectspecific expertise to challenge and validate our qualifications  \n• Subjecting the final qualifications to scrutiny against the DfE content and Ofqual accreditation criteria in advance of submission.  \nImportantly, we have worked to ensure that the content and learning is future oriented. The design has been guided by what is called an ‘Efficacy Framework’, meaning learner outcomes have been at the heart of this development throughout. We understand that ultimately it is excellent teaching that is the key factor to a learner’s success in education. As a result of our work as a panel we are confident that we have supported the development of qualifications that are outstanding for their coherence, thoroughness and attention to detail and can be regarded as representing world-class best practice.”  \nSir Michael Barber (Chair)  \nChief Education Advisor, Pearson plc  \nProfessor Sing Kong Lee  \nDirector, National Institute of Education, Singapore  \nBahram Bekhradnia  \nPresident, Higher Education Policy Institute  \nDame Sally Coates  \nPrincipal","cbCais9UNgiVXJJJ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCais9UNgiVXJJJ","pdf",574854,1,68,"English","en",105,"# Introduction\n## Purpose of the specification","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the Pearson Edexcel Level 3 Advanced GCE in Business specification?\",\"answer\":\"It sets out the qualification objectives, required prior knowledge and skills, assessment method and requirements, and what knowledge and understanding will be assessed, including attainment criteria.\"},{\"question\":\"Who is the qualification designed for?\",\"answer\":\"It is designed for use in schools and colleges as part of a suite of GCE qualifications offered by Pearson.\"},{\"question\":\"What outcomes is the qualification intended to support?\",\"answer\":\"It defines and assesses achievement of knowledge, skills, and understanding needed for students planning to progress to undergraduate study, particularly in business and related subject areas.\"}]","A Level Business Specification -
