Estelle Morris, the Education Secretary, has announced plans to make GSCE's a thing of the past and individual choices a thing of the future. This new approach to learning gives pupils the chance to choose academic or vocational learning.
It also allows some pupils to drop academic subjects such as modern languages, at the age of 14. However, English, Maths and Science will still be compulsory. Bright pupils, if this plan goes ahead will be given the chance to skip GCSE's and go straight to A Levels.
This will be in a system where children go to one school from the age of five to the age of fourteen and then to another school from the age of fourteen to nineteen.
