Draft General, Applied (Essential) and

Short Course syllabus online focus groups

Purpose

To:

• provide information about the Online webinar — Draft General, Applied (Essential) and Short Course syllabus online focus group events

• invite heads of department, teachers and other stakeholders to provide expert advice to the QCAA about the revision of General, Applied (Essential) and Short Course syllabuses.

Background

Draft 1 of the revised General, Applied (Essential) and Short Course syllabuses were released for public consultation on 24 April 2023. The feedback from consultation has been reviewed and the QCAA has begun to prepare Draft 2 in response to this feedback.

Prior to the publication and release of Draft 2 of the General, Applied (Essential) and Short Course syllabuses for public consultation, the QCAA is providing an opportunity for interested stakeholders to attend online focus group events to discuss the revised syllabuses. While this opportunity is open to anyone who is interested, it will be particularly relevant for heads of department and teachers.

Information

The online focus group events have been scheduled throughout June and July 2023.
