It is intended primarily to be a working manual for admissions tutors in higher education providers (HEPs). It should also be of use and interest to staff in schools, colleges and the FE sector. It is organised in two main parts: the first deals with qualifications available in England, Wales and Northern Ireland; the second concentrates on the education system in Scotland. It therefore contains details of a wide range of qualifications, but concentrates on those at National Qualifications Framework (NQF) or Qualifications Credit Framework (QCF) levels 2 and 3 or equivalent. Qualifications are listed alphabetically in the main body of the guide. This structure has been adopted to promote ease of use of the document, to provide an effective tool for use in the admissions process. The inclusion of any qualification does not imply recognition or endorsement of that qualification on the part of UCAS or HEPs, for the purposes of entry to HE in the UK. Similarly, absence of any qualification in the guide does not imply intended lack of recognition. UCAS would be pleased to receive comments and suggestions about the format and content of this publication for the benefit of future editions.

There are four main strategic documents which guide our actions and structure our interactions with employers and other stakeholders. These strategic documents are: The Education Improvement Plan (EIP) - this plan details our strategy for addressing the needs of young people in school aged 3-19. The Policy Statement on Skills (PSS) and Skills Implementation Plan (SIP) - both provide a focus on developing a sustainable and competitive skills system for Wales which incorporates Further and Higher Education, Work-based Learning, Regional Skills Partnerships, employers and their representative bodies. The Higher Education Policy Statement - this document details the support we will offer to learners in Universities aged over 18. The Adult and Community Learning Policy - this strategy is currently under review. There are common themes detailed within each of the above strategic documents which are in line with our commitments contained within the Programme for Government. These common themes are: Jobs and growth Equity and equality Financial sustainability International benchmarking Further, the CBI report ‘First Steps’ is a point of reference for the Department. The report sets out the business view on the reforms that are needed to make a successful education system, drawing on international examples and underpinned by a set of core principles.

    Post-16 Education – a Guide for Teachers and Parents

    Post-16 Education – A Guide for Teachers and Parents This resource is aimed at teachers and parents who would like a better idea of the options available to students as they finish their GCSEs. Use this resource to help inform students about their options and support them in finding the route that is right for them. The information below is primarily targeted at those living in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. The Scottish system is broadly similar and some details are described here (to support pupils who have the option of studying there). However, if you work in Scotland, it is worth looking for Scotland-specific information. This is an introduction to the post-16 routes available to students and their structures. For more detailed, local information – particularly regarding available courses and entry requirements – it is important to contact local employers and education providers. Levels English, Welsh and Northern Irish Qualifications are divided into levels, from Entry Level to Level 8. The table below shows example qualifications available at each level. Although all qualifications at a single level are broadly equivalent, they are not equal – for example, A levels and AS levels are both Level 3 qualifications. It is important that students check with institutions how they value their qualifications before applying. Level Selected Qualifications Entry Level Entry Level Awards Skills for Life Entry level English for Speakers of Other Languages Level 1 GCSE grade 1–3 (G–D in Wales) Level 1 NVQ Music grades 1–3 Level 2 GCSE grade
  • Classifying Educational Programmes

    Classifying Educational Programmes

    Classifying Educational Programmes Manual for ISCED-97 Implementation in OECD Countries 1999 Edition ORGANISATION FOR ECONOMIC CO-OPERATION AND DEVELOPMENT Foreword As the structure of educational systems varies widely between countries, a framework to collect and report data on educational programmes with a similar level of educational content is a clear prerequisite for the production of internationally comparable education statistics and indicators. In 1997, a revised International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED-97) was adopted by the UNESCO General Conference. This multi-dimensional framework has the potential to greatly improve the comparability of education statistics – as data collected under this framework will allow for the comparison of educational programmes with similar levels of educational content – and to better reflect complex educational pathways in the OECD indicators. The purpose of Classifying Educational Programmes: Manual for ISCED-97 Implementation in OECD Countries is to give clear guidance to OECD countries on how to implement the ISCED-97 framework in international data collections. First, this manual summarises the rationale for the revised ISCED framework, as well as the defining characteristics of the ISCED-97 levels and cross-classification categories for OECD countries, emphasising the criteria that define the boundaries between educational levels. The methodology for applying ISCED-97 in the national context that is described in this manual has been developed and agreed upon by the OECD/INES Technical Group, a working group on education statistics and indicators representing 29 OECD countries. The OECD Secretariat has also worked closely with both EUROSTAT and UNESCO to ensure that ISCED-97 will be implemented in a uniform manner across all countries.
