    Brief

    The Department for Education seeks to directly award a contract to AQA Education for developing and launching a new GCSE (General Certificate of Secondary Education) qualification in the Ukrainian language. This qualification will be subject to approval by Ofqual, the independent regulator of qualifications in England. The initiative aims to provide formal recognition of Ukrainian language proficiency for learners in England, with particular benefit to displaced Ukrainian learners. The successful contractor will be responsible for curriculum design, assessment development, quality assurance, and launch coordination to ensure the qualification meets national educational standards and serves the diverse needs of the learner population.
