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.
