P-05-938 Make Welsh universities consider the Welsh Baccalaureate as an A Level

This petition was submitted by Bronwen Rosie Clatworthy having collected a total of 71 signatures.

 

Text of Petition             

As it is compulsory for young people studying AS and A Levels to complete the Welsh Baccalaureate, surely universities in Wales should accept the qualification, just like other A levels, for all courses.

 

Additional Information

An example of courses in Wales that do not accept the Welsh Baccalaureate as an A Level, is Speech and Language Therapy at Cardiff Met University. There are no other Speech and Language Therapy courses in Wales.
