How does the Diploma fit in with the current qualifications framework?
A. In the 2005 14-19 White Paper the government committed to work towards a more transparent and rationalised range of qualifications for young people, with a clear set of qualification choices for young people, each of which is widely understood by learners, parents, teachers, employers and higher education. The White Paper set out three main options for learning style, for young people to make at different times: GCSEs and A levels, Diplomas, and Apprenticeships. The 14-19 Qualification Strategy includes details of how they intend to introduce the Diploma and ensure it fits with other qualifications.
