We are consulting on the proposed design of five new qualifications in this Area of Learning and Experience.
The new qualifications are:
GCSE History
GCSE Geography
GCSE Religious Studies
GCSE Social Studies
The Curriculum for Wales has been central to the creation of these proposals. The statements of what matters for this Area support and complement one another and should not be viewed in isolation. All of the statements apply to each subject within humanities and can be viewed from the perspective of Business, History, Geography, Religious Studies or Social Studies.
We have co-created these proposals with a range of stakeholders, including teachers, assessment experts and colleagues from WJEC, regional education consortia, further education colleges and universities. We also sought feedback from Welsh Government and Estyn to ensure that the proposals support the implementation of the Curriculum for Wales.
Now we want to hear your views. In the sections below you can read more about the proposals for each subject and give us your feedback.
Following this consultation, we will continue to work with stakeholders using the feedback from this consultation to adapt and refine our proposals. We will then turn these into requirements that the awarding body must meet when designing the detail of each qualification.
