The QCA are currently redeveloping GCSEs in ICT which will have a massive impact on the way ICT is taught and thought about in schools over the next decade.

The GCSE gives out important messages about both what ICTs ‘are’ and about the role they might play in all areas of life – from personal and working lives, to leisure, culture and consumption. As such, it’s really important that as many people as possible have commented on the plans.

The QCA is currently consulting on a set of draft criteria at http://www.qca.org.uk/qca_18259.aspx. It would make sense for anyone interested in ICT and education to ensure that they’ve looked at and fed back on these.
