A Government review panel has suggested that students failing GCSE Maths will be required to re-sit it until they pass.
The review has been carried out by Professor Alison Wolf, an expert in education and skills who said, “We've got more than half our 15-16 year olds failing to get get good maths and good English at GCSE the first time round and two years later it's no better”
She believes children should study mainly academic subjects until they are 16 and that if they do not get a good GCSE in English and maths by that age, they should be made to continue with those subjects.
"We've got more than half our 15-16 year olds failing to get good maths and good English at GCSE the first time round and two years later it's no better," Prof Wolf told the BBC. Until 16, she says, pupils should spend 80% of their time on core subjects.
