Chinese and Japanese AS and A levels: proposed subject content

We’re proposing small changes to the AS and A level subject content, which will apply only to Chinese and Japanese, as exceptions to the modern foreign language subject content and subject content for smaller cohort languages.

We’re seeking your views on the proposed changes to provide a suitable post-16 qualification that is accessible for all students and the impact they may have.

Ofqual is also running a consultation on the assessment requirements for AS and A level qualifications in Chinese and Japanese.
