How will the changes affect food based GCSEs and other courses?
QCA has been working with the awarding bodies, together with the British Nutrition Foundation and the D&T Association to improve both current and future food examinations. There has been some disquiet that the exams had become too focused on industry and not sufficient attention was being paid to nutrition, particularly in the exam papers. QCA requires the exam boards to use the FSA core competences to underpin the new GCSE specifications from September 2009. As the core competences already underpin the 2008 key stage 3 and Licence to Cook, progression will be maintained. New specifications starting in 2009 are available now on the awarding body websites.
