Debate

Curriculum and Assessment Review

Contribution

We want to ensure that as we reduce GCSE content by 10%, we do so, together with the regulator, in a way that maintains the validity and integrity of the system. There are a range of different approaches that teachers can benefit from, and the Department provides much in the way of training and development. We always keep that under review to ensure that this is evidence-informed and driven by the best pedagogy.[Official Report, 18 November 2025; Vol. 775, c. 6WC.] (Correction)
