More than an SEN issue
• “11,000 Northern Ireland children - 44% of all school leavers - who left school in 2008/09 without achieving five good GCSEs, including English and Maths.
• More than a fifth of working –age population have no qualifications”

Focus of the consultation
• The appropriateness of existing qualification provision at Entry Level and Level 1
• Additional qualifications & accreditation that may be needed
• The appropriateness of current assessment approaches and possible alternatives
![Page 7: Consultation on future CCEA Awarding Body provision of qualifications for learners with Special Educational Needs Advance briefing.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5697bf7d1a28abf838c84814/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
What we know so far
• Diversity of opinion about accreditation• Unanimous agreement about the need to recognise and
reward all learners
…get away from the deficit model of assessment
…find ways to recognise achievement across the horizontal as well as the vertical curriculum”

Some Suggestions:
• External recognition– of in-house schemes by use of criteria and
accredited centre status
• Charting progression routes– from Pre-Entry to Level 1 with assessment
linked to pre-requisite skills
• CCEA “wrapper”– to bundle individual learner’s achievements– What core content should be included?
