Mark Hendrick – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Education

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Mark Hendrick on 2015-02-09.

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what estimate she has made of the potential cost of the Government’s plans to abolish the AS level qualification.

Mr Nick Gibb

The Government has no plans to abolish the AS qualification. The Government is decoupling the AS from the A level, and the AS will remain available as an option for students wishing to broaden their programme of A level study by taking an AS in a particular subject.
