Diploma skills
Published: 15 August 2008
The introduction of diplomas as an alternative to A-levels will help give students a broader range of skills, according to a government advisor.
Sir Mike Tomlinson, the government’s ambassador for the new qualifications told The Daily Telegraph the qualification would go a long way to addressing the problem of students being taught how to pass exams, rather than developing knowledge.
“It will go a long way to tackling that issue. It will also provide students with an opportunity, through extended project, to pursue a topic that really interests them,” said Tomlinson.
The new diplomas, which launch next year, combine academic study with work-based training. Initially covering media, health and engineering, the scheme will then be expanded to cover more traditional subjects, such as humanities, science and language.
