Languages, Mathematics and the Baccalaureate

This report, produced by the Nuffield Foundation, is in response to the Tomlinson Working Group on 14–19 Reform, set up as an outcome of the Government paper, ‘14–19: Opportunity and excellence’. Nuffield’s conviction was that proposals to reform assessment can only be authoritative if they take account of the nature of the curriculum. The report consists of three papers entitled: • Languages, Mathematics and the Baccalaureate by Richard Pring • Languages and the Baccalaureate by Kathy Wicksteed • Mathematics and the Baccalaureate by Geoff Wake It was believed that bringing together specialists from two such different subjects has a developmental value, providing a methodological framework which can be used for the similar analysis of other curriculum areas.
