Don't let schools make religious studies compulsory for GCSEs
I would like the government to stop schools making RS compulsory for GCSE as many students are bad at it and do not want to do it. Many students would like to have a free period for revision and homework or another lesson of a subject like maths or English so they can secure a pass.

Make British politics compulsory in the secondary school curriculum
British politics should be compulsory in secondary school to help prepare young people for the responsibility of voting in elections. The fundamentals of British politics and how to vote: we think these things which are lacking in the British education system.
Stop GCSE exams
We call on the Government to scrap GCSE exams and replace them with fairer continuous assessments, coursework, and smaller tests. We think this would reduce stress, improve mental health, and better prepare students for future education.
Introduce Law as a GCSE subject
Introduce GCSE Law to the national education curriculum. I feel the current curriculum can sometimes fail to inspire and motivate students.
Abolish all written/timed exams in every GCSE/A-Level & make them practical
Require DfE & Ofqual to reform every GCSE, A-Level & BTEC subject to 100% practical/portfolio/applied assessment, 0% written/theory, no exams. Grant all BTEC routes equal status in Progress 8/Attainment 8 and create dual academic/vocational pathways in every subject from 14–19 for inclusion.
Do not remove GCSE Computer Science
The government has recently announced its plan to replace the “narrowly focused” GCSE Computer Science with a “broader, future facing” GCSE Computing. We believe that the government should not do this and that it would harm student outcomes, as opposed to benefitting them.
