(asked on 27th October 2016) - View Source
Question to the Department for Education:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the impact of the discontinuance of history of art A-level on the number of students taking history of art at undergraduate level.
This question was answered on 9th November 2016
We are disappointed that AQA has taken the decision to withdraw from offering these subjects at A level. Neither subject, however, is a pre-requisite for degree level study, and both are taken by a relatively small number of students.
The option for AQA or another exam board to develop A level specifications for these subjects in future will also remain open. We are in discussion with the exam boards on this issue.
