§ 19. Mr. David NicholsonTo ask the Secretary of State for Education what representations he has had requesting that A-levels be abolished or diluted.
§ Mr. Robin SquireMy right hon. Friend receives a wide range of representations about GCE A-levels. GCE A-levels will remain a key part of our strategy to provide high-quality qualifications for students at 16 and beyond and we are committed to maintaining their standards and rigour. Considerable progress is also being made in implementing vocational A-levels.
