I'm not sure this should be posted here where most won't understand the context.
In the UK (bar Scotland), if you plan to go to University, you do A Levels in 3-4 subjects between the ages of 16 and 18. This means you need to make key choices that go towards which subject you study at University at the age of 16. Many students either haven't decided on their degree subject or make uninformed choices.
To reflect that reality, Universities are loosening their subject admission requirements and putting the prerequisite material in the University course instead.
Personally, I believe that A Levels should be reformed to reduce early specialisation.
- arethuza 15y ago"prerequisite material in the University course instead" Isn't that pretty much what Scottish Universities have always done with a 4 year degree? Entrance used to be based on Highers taken in 5th year at secondary school - with some people going straight to University after the 5th year or others staying around to get more highers or to do additional higher levels qualifications.
