U-turn on abolition of GCSE and teaching finance

Post by Sunshine 11 »

I am pleased the E-Baccs aren't going ahead although I do think GCSEs now contain far too much coursework.

I am also pleased that they will be teaching financial management at school, especially in light of the current climate. What are your thoughts ?

They contain no coursework - it's all 'controlled assessments' which are done under exam conditions. Coursework went several years ago.
