Science Changes Set to Inspire Students
Noel, John
Physics Education, v41 n2 p174-178 Mar 2006
In 2003 the Government set out its vision and agenda for 14-19 education in the Green Paper "14-19: Opportunity and Excellence". As a result, the DfES asked the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA) to revise its programme of study for science at Key Stage 4 (14-16). These revisions come into force in September 2006 and schools are being advised to start considering their options now. This article explains the background and tries to demystify some of the choices available to schools and colleges.
