The Science Council's Policy Statements are produced in consultation with our members and through the Special Interest Groups.
SCORE Position on the Science Diploma
30th May 2008
The introduction of the Diploma is a major change to the English education system. The SCORE partnership (of which the Science Council is a member), with support from the Gatsby Foundation, commissioned People Science & Policy Ltd to undertake a consultation examining the key issues around the development of the 14-19 science Diploma. The resulting report and SCORE’s own discussions have informed the position statement given here.
