[Design and Technology] latest updates from the VCAA

Tue Aug 10 01:56:47 UTC 2021

As I understood it, no changes to Unit 4. Nothing related to PD&T from what I found.

Will there be changes to VCE study designs or exams like last year?

As we are now well into the delivery of Unit 4, there will be no changes to the following:

study design or examination content
VCE performance, Languages oral or written examination dates
Applying a fair and consistent approach for all students is paramount to any change we make. As schools and students will be at various stages of Unit 4 delivery, there is no way to make accommodations to study designs or examinations that will be fair and consistent to all students.

Last year we began amendments to Study Designs at the end of Term 1. This year we are now well into Unit 4 teaching. We have no way of knowing which content has been covered already from school to school and from subject to subject, so it is not possible to roll over last year’s changes as it would not be fair to each and every student. We are confident the CED process will ensure all students have the opportunity to be assessed fairly.
