QCA Personal Skills and Competencies Review

The Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA) commissioned Futurelab to carry out a review and consultation project which aimed to:
 
  • draw together a review of current projects and initiatives which provide insights into different approaches to developing young people’s skills and competencies (broadly classified as ‘21st century skills’) through non-subject led approaches
  • identify how these different approaches might be developed and supported at a national level by QCA
  • make recommendations as to assessment and accreditation practices which could be used to promote and develop personal skills and competencies.
The project ran between January and March 2007 and comprised desk research, meetings and interviews with lead practitioners. Projects, practitioners and researchers were identified through recommendation and snowball sampling.
