The Royal Society of Chemistry’s response to the Advanced British Standard (ABS) consultation
Summary of contents
We responded to the Department for Education’s consultation on the proposed new Advanced British Standard (ABS), a new Baccalaureate-style qualification framework for 16–19-year-olds. We commented on the proposed design for the new Level 3 qualifications, the assessment principles, and the opportunities and challenges implementing this qualification would bring to the recruitment and retention of staff.
