Newcastle learner panel NYA report

Last updated on: 21/10/2009

Ofqual travelled to Newcastle to meet up with young people as part of a learner panel organised with the National Youth Agency (NYA).

This report records the thoughts and opinions of young people concerning the following themes:

  • Working/studying towards qualifications if not at school regularly
  • Gaining understanding from those not interested in working towards qualifications or who found it hard to do when not at school
  • The whole process of being assessed, taking exams and tests and how it could be made easier for people not at school
  • New qualifications and systems like the Diploma which are designed to make it easier for people who can’t attend one school setting.
