In order to ensure that schools in Wales will be able to choose from the full range of new, Made-for-Wales GCSEs, Qualifications Wales decided to require any awarding body offering them to offer the full range of GCSE subjects. As the primary provider of GCSEs in Wales, only WJEC has committed to this requirement. Qualifications Wales and the Welsh Government are working closely with WJEC on the development and successful introduction of these qualifications for first teaching from September 2025.
