Purpose of the consultation
The Children, Young People and Education Committee conducted an inquiry into the revised Welsh Baccalaureate
Qualification that was introduced for teaching from September 2015. The
Committee looked at the qualification at Key Stage 4 and post-16.
The inquiry focussed specifically on:
- The extent to which the Welsh
Baccalaureate Qualification is understood and valued by learners, parents,
education professionals in schools and colleges, higher education
institutions and employers;
- The extent to which the Welsh
Baccalaureate is considered by learners, education professionals in
schools and colleges, employers and higher education to be an equivalent,
rigorous qualification;
- The status of the Welsh
Baccalaureate Qualification in schools and colleges, including the Welsh
Government’s target for universal adoption and the potential impact of
this approach;
- The wider impact of studying the
Welsh Baccalaureate on other curriculum subjects and education provision;
- The benefits and disadvantages of the Welsh Baccalaureate Qualification to learners, schools and colleges, higher education institutions and employers.
