Coronavirus: GCSE students allowed to drop topics in 2021 exams
Having originally proposed that there would be no changes to the English literature exam in 2021, Ofqual said it had decided to offer students a choice of topics after"significant concern" was expressed by schools about their ability to cover all of the subject areas that form the basis of exam questions.
The government has agreed students will be given a choice of topics on which they will be asked questions, so schools can focus on a smaller number of texts. The exam regulator had also considered delaying the start of the GCSE exam season to 7 June instead of mid-May, but said it is still considering the best approach.
