Ofqual A-Level Geography review


Ofqual have published their review of seven qualifications. One of these was A-Level Geography

Standards review summary: 

‘In geography there were changes to the specifications between 2001 and 2010. Changes to the content meant that some specifications had less scientific content in 2010. We found that the removal of coursework in 2010 reduced the overall demand of the qualification and may have meant students were less well prepared for higher education.’
