person: So, then, is what they do truly so bad, if we are all merely on our way to the ground? I dismay and lose hope that there is purpose at all, if the church is corrupt and we have nothing left but death awaiting us. preacher: Might as well end it all now shouldn't we? If there's no such thing as sin, and if life has no meaning, why prolong our suffering on this cruel chaotic husk of a world? person: Either that or live only for pleasure. In which case, I am not so sure that the corrupt church is wrong. For what harm is there in gold rings and false confessions if all we have to hope for is a grave? preacher: I suppose that is true - death by hedonism could certainly be worse.

They seem to be renovating some, but most of them are beyond restoration. Or only with the funds that are unavailable in this country. A city of irreplaceable losses it is! Ann: Very sad indeed.

Ann: Hope it's not too crowded and no jellyfish!

Marketing: Well it is this till true of course That they only use ten percent the buttons The buttons to zap are used the about fifteen hundred times when the power button is only used one time And the volume buttons only four times So they are obv obviously the most important buttons And lots of people complained they kin can not find their remote control So we might want to build in a feature to support them Some audio signal Like home phones Industrial Designer: Or a find a finding function That is quite a yes Project Manager: It it separates our product from others as well Marketing: Well I just said that And well this obvious and he also said it Project Manager: So that is what the market tells us Marketing: that is about it yes User Interface: The volume and the zap buttons are the mostly used Marketing: Volume they are use a lot But more than all the other buttons So User Interface: well it should just have a design The perfect design for those only those buttons And first Industrial Designer: Yes Yes we should focus on that I guess Well the technical there I think there are no technical difficulties There is no elaborate technique used in this kind of equipment So I do not think we have any hiccups there So we can fully concentrate on developing a product that is really what the market needs So maybe it is a good idea to think about these buttons and and and a sound signal User Interface: the sound signal Just one thing I am just wondering the sound signal from where do you execute th the s sound ? Industrial Designer: Yes Th that is a bit of that is a problem User Interface: Another device is not a solution Project Manager: maybe maybe like clapping in your hands like turning on and off the the the lights User Interface: but maybe you will get some new technologies for it Industrial Designer: Yes Well there there are some devices who incorporate this technique already there are video sets and they have a special button the find the remote control button You press it and your TV set starts to make a kind of weird sound and your remote controls then start to beep Project Manager: Reports rep respend response to it Industrial Designer: Yes Yes that is it Yes same thing User Interface: But but TVs do not have all buttons Industrial Designer: No so we we should use something else Project Manager: because we do not have a a a a a home User Interface: But I believe you will have an Industrial Designer: We do not control the TV set so well Marketing: And even if the TV set would have such a button you would have to walk to your TV Industrial Designer: Yes m yes S and we b we want to make so it is is easy as possible for our customers so we should think about Project Manager: So what about the clapping technique ? because you se User Interface: I am convinced Sebastian will find one solution for us Industrial Designer: It is quite complicated Well it is quite complicated Because how can you separate the clapping sound from other sounds Project Manager: Well you see it a lot in in light lightning Industrial Designer: Yes yes Well basically the characteristics the characteristics of clapping is just an increase in the volume the amplitude of the sound which is generated a few times within a certain period of time But there are many other sounds which are exactly the same from the point of view from a remote control Marketing: So if if you would be watching a movie it would constantly beep User Interface: But we can have just a home stat f a base station next to the TV Just a little antenna or something Industrial Designer: so we do not want that Maybe we can Something like that User Interface: Well if you lost th Industrial Designer: is there not something f something more easily User Interface: I do not think people would bother walking to the TV and press that button because they lost the their remote Industrial Designer: Well I do not think No and y the the most important thing for people is that there is a central point to which they can go and b perform a a some kind of And then the remote control reports itself so w we should use have we should use something like that You do not want another device which can be everywhere in the house which you have to find first before you can find your remote control User Interface: just a base station next to the TV is the best possibility Industrial Designer: Yes something like that But that will be very costly I think Project Manager: m maybe w we we do agree on on the thing that the remote should have such a function if it is possible within the costs and all that kind of things Industrial Designer: So that is not a good idea Project Manager: maybe Sebastian should have a detailed look later on and come up with a solution because that is his his field of expertise Industrial Designer: Yes Yes But before I do that I w I want to warn you that by implementing this kind of a function the technical design will become more complicated and it will become more costly also Because there will be additional components which which will be used And there are some implepe imp User Interface: And do we even prefer the sound above the the LEDs the lightning function ? Industrial Designer: Well I I think so because when you have a p newspaper over your remote control you can not see it User Interface: It is a unique item Project Manager: it is a distinction in the market User Interface: It will be an a unique feature of our remote control Project Manager: It is a different exactly It is an uni an unique feature and I think it is worth looking and and probably more i interesting than than the lights

User Interface proposed that a base station next to the TV could be a solution, but Industrial Designer pointed out that this could be technically complicated and would cost a lot. So the team eventually adopted Marketing's advice to implement an audio signal.

Dawn Bowden AM: Thank you Chair You touched on this once or twice in answers to questions about how rigorous the qualification is We have had mixed evidence I would suggest from groups of stakeholders We have heard people say that the Welsh bac has no rigour that pupils are spoonfed We have heard that the Welsh bac is passively marked the grades are inflated that there is little rigour in the sampling and moderation there is a confusion about how the SCC is graded and I know that is something you talked about actually that introducing the grading system is improving the rigour I suppose my question to you is : if the Welsh bac is being seen in this way by stakeholders how are going to address that ? To what extent is that a real problem ? Kirsty Williams AM: I think making it a graded qualification has been really important and I make no apologies for this qualification being rigorous—no apologies for that at all That is how it should be and that is how you create value by ensuring that a qualification is rigorous What is really important is that it is not just me saying that it is rigorous there is an independent process that benchmarks qualifications The fact is that at advanced level—because I do not know if you are making these observations about the pre16 Welsh bac or whether we are talking about the advanced level qualification—that is the equivalent of an Alevel It is been benchmarked against Alevels It has a UCAS tariff associated with it It is used by universities as a means of qualification that gains entrance into a university in just the same way as an Alevel is So therefore I do not have any concerns about the rigour of the qualification In terms of spoonfeeding one of the reasons why universities like the qualification is that it is very difficult for instance in the individual project work to be spoonfed It is very demanding of individual students and it is very difficult in a way That is one of the reasons why it is valuable is not it because it teaches a different set of skills ? Because if you are doing a traditional say history Alevel or a science Alevel there is a very strict syllabus and a course there is a textbook and people are taught to that particular syllabus with the Welsh bac it is individual students that have to think for instance of their own individual project You can not get those off a shelf and you can not necessarily just find that information easily There is real skill involved in being able to do that well and get graded well for that So I do not have concerns about the rigour I do have concerns about some of the feedback by Qualifications Wales about the onerousness of the evaluation and what that means for teacher workload which is one of the things that Qualifications Wales is looking at But in terms of rigour and people being spoonfed then I do not share those concerns Dawn Bowden AM: because those were concerns in the main that were articulated by people delivering the Welsh bac—by teachers So I suppose the question then comes back to some of the other points that were being raised about the consistency because that may well be from those teachers in schools where they are not taking the bac as seriously as some others are Kirsty Williams AM: And of course there would be— There is a professional responsibility for those teachers delivering that qualification to ensure that the ethos of that qualification and the skills— It would potentially be a disservice to students if that qualification was being delivered in that way Dawn Bowden AM: And I think what I was trying to do was to highlight the different opinions because we also heard from teachers who were saying that those involved with teaching and studying understood absolutely its rigour so it was the mixed message I guess I was just trying to test out with you Similarly on the skills challenge certificate again we have heard from various stakeholders about whether in fact this is considered to be an equivalent qualification We have heard people say that it is different—it is not the same as an Alevel—so therefore you can not absolutely hold it up and say it is the same as an Alevel It requires different skills and so on and so forth So just your thoughts and views on that really as an equivalent qualification Kirsty Williams AM: It is not a question of if this is an equivalent qualification this is an equivalent qualification There is a rigorous process that is undertaken to evaluate these qualifications independent of the Government and it is not a question Is it a different model and a different way of studying ? Yes of course it is and that is why we do it That is why I want children and young people to do both sets of qualifications because it does engage and expand the acquisition of knowledge and skills So yes it is different Is it equivalent ? Yes it is and that is why since the graded qualification came in it is regarded by independent bodies as an equivalent to an Alevel and it has a tariff for UCAS in the same way as Alevels would have tariffs You only have to speak to the institutes of higher education who use this qualification as a way of setting grades—you know offers—for students that they see that in the same way as well Lynne Neagle AM: Suzys got a supplementary before we go on to talk in detail about universities Suzy Davies AM: Is that ? Because I just want to go back to this element of spoonfeeding at post 16 where you said it is actually very difficult for that to occur because obviously we are talking about the personal project and so forth We heard evidence in one of the schools sessions we did that baccalaureate students were being offered a very short and narrow list of subjects on which they could do their personal project which actually limited the scope of what they were able to do And we have also heard separately—it may have been with the colleges I can not quite remember now—that some students were being told On your personal project just put in what you did for your GCSElevel baccalaureate and add a few paragraphs I am wondering how easy it is to disguise spoonfeeding at post 16 when we have got two instances there that to me suggest it is more about the convenience of the teachers who perhaps may not be very enthusiastic about the bac rather than making sure those children get the best out of the qualification Kirsty Williams AM: Yes And that would be really disappointing And again if I can use my own personal family experience my daughter has tried that on with her Welsh bac teacher She is in a different school from where she did her earlier bac and she said Oh well I will just rehash my `` Votes at 16 '' that I did last year and the Welsh bac teacher has said Under no circumstances are you to do that—no that is not allowed This is about using your individual project linked to something that maybe you hope to study at university to get the value out of this qualification and for you to be able to use this in your personal statement and potentially in an interview So again I guess what this does is show that there is a variation but certainly where it is being delivered well then that practice would not be encouraged because it would be seen to be— —denuding the students of the very valuable experience the qualification has to offer

Kirsty Williams admitted that the grading system was rigorous and equivalent to A-Level. A UCAS tariff associated with it, and it was the individual ability that was evaluated by the system. About the resit issue, the committee agreed that WJEC and the Qualifications Wales was supposed to regulate this.

#Person1#: How are you doing, Andrew? #Person2#: Not well. I've been feeling pretty lonely lately. #Person1#: But you have so many friends! How could you be lonely? #Person2#: You know what they say: a friend to all is a friend to none. I don't feel like I really know any of my friends. In fact, I should probably call them acquaintances, not friends. #Person1#: What about me? I'm your friend. #Person2#: I know you are, but you're my girlfriend. I wish I had a guy friend to hang out with sometimes. #Person1#: I know what you mean. I find it difficult to make new friends, too. It's not as easy as it was when we were young, is it? #Person2#: Not at all. #Person1#: I've made a lot of new friends since I started learning English. Maybe you could join a club or take a class to make some new friends. #Person2#: That's a good idea. #Person1#: What kind of qualities do you look for in a friend? #Person2#: I'm not sure. I guess I'd like to meet some people who have a positive attitude and want to have a good time. #Person1#: People who play ultimate Frisbee have a positive attitude; maybe you should join the ultimate Frisbee club. #Person2#: That's a possibility. Thanks!

#Person1#: It's difficult to find a suitable job this year. It's a lot of pressure. #Person2#: Now college graduates are being encouraged to start their own business. It sounds really good for us. We can get some valuable social experience, which will be helpful in our future jobs. We may also learn about ourselves and society. #Person1#: Yes, but it's not as easy as you imagine. There are a lot of problems. The main difficulty is money and our education doesn't provide enough knowledge on how to do it. #Person2#: Maybe you are right. But our government allows college graduates to borrow money from banks and maybe some can get money from their parents. #Person1#: But you have to pay back the money sooner or later. So most college graduates prefer to apply for a job rather than start their own business. #Person2#: But I have made up my mind to start my own business. How about you? #Person1#: Well, it always takes time to consider before making a decision.

#Person2# has decided to start #Person2#'s own business. #Person1# thinks college graduates lack of money and knowledge to do so, so it's difficult to make a decision.

preacher: I'm not sure I appreciate your tone, young man. Are you suggesting the church is corrupt? subject: I only asked you a question, sir. Is this not a place of inquiry, of discovery? You seem to be defensive, yet you and the King are happy to accept gifts to your alter. preacher: And do you not feel the blessed feeling when you give to God?
