England's Curriculum Overhaul Aims to Halt Early GCSE Teaching
England's education secretary warns that teaching GCSEs early turns schools into exam factories. A new curriculum overhaul will require secondary schools to wait until students reach Year 10 before starting GCSE subjects.
England's education secretary has warned that pushing GCSE subjects onto younger pupils risks transforming secondary schools into early exam factories. Proposals to end the widespread practice are set to be included in a forthcoming overhaul of the national curriculum.
Under the planned changes, secondary schools will be instructed to stop teaching GCSEs to students until they reach Year 10. The government stated that this measure is designed to keep younger children engaged in their education.
Further details of the overhaul will outline how the national curriculum addresses these educational practices as the government moves forward with its reform plans.
