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 cont","cbCaiuXibd2W8tdw","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuXibd2W8tdw","pdf",704430,56,"English","# Issue 2 changes\n## Summary of changes made between previous issue and this current issue\n## Contact information for further changes\n## Introduction\n## Purpose of the specification","[{\"question\":\"What are the main changes in Issue 2 compared with the previous issue?\",\"answer\":\"Issue 2 updates the “Forbidden combinations and discount code” section, revises Appendix 3 codes for discount codes and the qualifications framework, and adds a new Goblin Market edition that centres can use.\"},{\"question\":\"Why was a new edition of Goblin Market added?\",\"answer\":\"Centres informed Pearson that the original prescribed edition was becoming difficult to source, so both editions can be used.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the specification?\",\"answer\":\"The specification sets out qualification objectives, required prior completion and prior knowledge/skills, and other requirements before assessment or award.\"}]","AS English Language and Literature - Issue 2 - Specification changes summary | PDF",1792466351,141]
