Ofqual have released an open consultation regarding the arrangements for the assessment and awarding of vocational, technical and other general qualifications from 2020 to 2021.

The open consultation is a follow on proposal for extending the extraordinary regulatory framework, with the consultation closing date set to be on 20 September 2020.

The proposed arrangements of the open consultation apply to all regulated qualifications excluding GCSEs, AS and A levels, and end-point assessments (EPAs). The arrangement aims to mitigate the disruption to teaching, learning and assessments in order to give learners the opportunity to achieve fair results from 2020 to 2021 and prevent disadvantaging to them through longer term impacts of the pandemic.
