Checking Overseas Equivalent Qualifications

[EmmaM]

Hi fellow Data Managers!

 

I'm new to this role and it's a baptism of fire as there's been a gap in data managers here, and I'm trying to sort SIMS out before the census! The prior attainment is a mess; we've a lot of foreign Yr 12 & 13 boarders with overseas qualifications. What's the best, quickest, easiest way to check the comparability of overseas GCSE equivalents?

 

Thanks in advance!

I'd get hold of this publication from NARIC (the designated body for qualification equivalence in the UK): https://www.naric.org.uk/naric/organisations/Publications/International%20Secondary%20Qualifications.aspx

 

UCAS also have a list, but the latest version I could find is from 2015.
