Perspective

"The creation of a kind of educational apartheid is likely to be further accelerated by the adoption of the new science GCSEs. If science education is to prosper post-16, schools are going to be forced to make hard choices. Do they give students the demanding option of three separate sciences, or do they opt for the more ‘relevant’ suite of Twenty First Century Science courses? Under pressure to meet GCSE grade targets in order to justify specialist school status, even good schools in the state sector will think twice before offering the separate sciences."
