Edexcel
Wednesday 24th February
I know that I’m a little prone to ranting about Edexcel and the dumbing of standards in GCSEs and so on. But something that really worries me is the header on their Scheme of Work for Year 10 GCSE Japanese. It’s says “Japanese Language” in Japanese. But it’s only sodding well upside down, isn’t it?
A t-shirt manufacturer, I can just about forgive for getting Kanji upside down, but a booklet intended to help teachers guiding our young and impressionable future citizens? Not really on.
are you sure they didn’t just get the english upside down?

P’raps they’re sneakily testing folks? You gotta be good to spot that shurely? Or, at the very least, attentive?

Thank you for drawing this error to the attention of Edexcel. Naturally, we very much regret this and are now making arrangements to amend the document. It appears that the error occured as the Japanese title was handled by ‘artwork’ colleagues rather than language specialists and it slipped through a final quality assurance check.
Colleagues have been advised to review processes.
