Rishi Sunak ‘planning A-level reform to establish British Baccalaureate’

Mr Sunak has previously said all pupils in England should study some form of maths up to the age of 18.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak previously criticised a ‘cultural sense that it’s OK to be bad at maths’

According to several papers, including The Times and The Telegraph, the substantial A-level reform would see English and maths become compulsory until the age of 18, while pupils would be required to study a wider array of subjects in post-16 education. A Department for Education spokesperson said in a statement: “Since 2010 we have made huge progress in driving up school standards and giving young people the best start in life, with record funding for schools and more full-time teachers than ever before.“We have already taken steps to reform the post-16 qualifications landscape, including reforming technical education and delivering millions of new high-quality apprenticeships.

“Rishi Sunak should be focusing on long term plans to improve literacy and numeracy in younger children, not pursuing short term headlines with this unworkable policy, which will do nothing to raise standards.
