AQA has worked in conjunction with the other three Awarding Organisations (AOs) and Ofqual to develop a range of processes to secure the integrity, validity and reliability of the NEA, however, despite these efforts, we recognise that shortcomings remain due to the nature of the subject and skills being targeted.\u003Cbr>While we recognise the shortcomings, and the possible benefits that arise from longer term modification of the approach , we do have concerns about the timing of the proposed changes as detailed in our responses to the questions that follow.\u003Cbr>We recognise that some of the evidence presented in the consultation demonstrates a risk of malpractice in some instances, but do not believe the validity or reliability of the assessment is sufficiently compromised to warrant the proposed course of action within the current academic year. The availability of (part) solutions on-line represents a clear risk to confidence and may be seen to undermine the qualification outcome, but we believe that the measures currently in place, as agreed with Ofqual and the other AOs during the development and accreditation process, will help identification and handling of malpractice issues should it occur this summer.
