Cornish Language: GCSE
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment she has made of the potential merits of the introduction of a GCSE in the Cornish language; and whether she has held discussions with qualification bodies on the viability and timeline for approving such a qualification.
- Answer
-
Decisions about which languages to offer at GCSE in England are taken by four independent awarding organisations: AQA, OCR, Pearson Edexcel and WJEC. These organisations have the freedom to create a Cornish GCSE based on subject content set by the department. This decision would be informed by several factors, including the level of demand from schools, and the proportion of the UK population who speak the language.
