Huge thanks to the 5000 people who have signed the petition to preserve A level Anthropology. People from 59 different countries are supporting us: academics, graduates, undergraduates, A level students, IB Anthropology teachers, parents and many more who can see the value in introducing Anthropology to students in schools. The thousands of personal comments of support are incredibly heartening, thank you. The latest message of support come from the European Association of Social Anthropologists, representing 1,900 members (let's hope they all sign!). Here's an extract: "We are dismayed at the prospective termination by the AQA examination board of the recently established A-level qualification in Anthropology. The qualification has been seen, across Europe, as a flagship programme of education and its progress is being watched keenly, not only by professional associations such as the EASA, but within those member countries where there is also an interest in introducing Anthropology to the secondary school curriculum. The decision of the AQA comes at a time when there is an increasing recognition of the transformative potential of Anthropology and an awareness of its growing importance across Europe in the face of new forms of xenophobia, intolerance and inequality.
