What information her Department holds on the number of the countries that teach GCE A-Level qualifications in state schools or their equivalent.

Reply

The department does not hold information on the number of countries that teach A level qualifications in state schools or their equivalent. There are examples of countries which have developed an A level offer. For example, Singapore delivers the Singapore-Cambridge GCE A level. International A levels are also offered in many countries worldwide. Ofqual publishes a range of information about exported qualifications. The latest information can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/annual-qualifications-market-report-academic-year-2022-to-2023/annual-qualifications-market-report-2022-to-2023-academic-year#in-focus-international-market. However, this report does not include information on the number of countries that teach A level qualifications in state schools or their equivalent. Ofqual’s data does also not include unregulated qualifications, such as International A levels.
