Equality, equity, and inclusion in non-degree qualifications and the system in Wales

Qualifications Wales commissioned research into equality, equity, and inclusion in non-degree qualifications and the system in Wales, focusing on stakeholders and parents’ views.

They commissioned the research by Beaufort Research as they acknowledge the significance of fostering a fair and just qualifications system that provides opportunities for all learners, regardless of their background, abilities, or circumstances.  

It forms part of our ongoing commitment to engage on issues relating to public confidence in qualifications and the qualifications system. This report explores a specific topic – views on equality, equity, and inclusion (EEI). 

Tom Anderson, Head of Research and Statistics at Qualifications Wales said: 

“The main objectives for this work were to explore stakeholder views on equality, equity and inclusion (EEI) when applied to the qualifications system. We also wanted to better understand how important stakeholders regard Qualifications Wales in relation to EEI and to inform the drafting of our equality objectives for 2024-2028.”
