<p>Ofqual is the regulator of qualifications, examinations and assessments in England.
Ofqual is conducting a comprehensive review of grading standards in GCSE French, German
and Spanish to see if there is a compelling case for an adjustment to grading standards
in these subjects. Ofqual’s review will consider statistical evidence, contextual
data including trends in the numbers taking these subjects, and the quality of students’
work through looking at how GCSE grades relate to the Common European Framework of
Reference for Languages. Ofqual is also gathering the views of subject experts and
other stakeholders. Ofqual is due to report on this work in the autumn.</p><p>Ofqual
has examined this issue in relation to grading standards in A level French, German
and Spanish (and A level biology, chemistry and physics). Ofqual considered a significant
body of evidence – published in 2018 in the form of 2 technical reports – and determined
that there was not a compelling case to adjust grading standards in these qualifications.
