Closed GCSE Maths, English and Science should be optional from year 10

Closed on

Many GCSE students will find the knowledge either difficult or pointless as there is so much to remember on top of the pressure from other subjects. Also other students may get bored and distract those who do want to take the subject in future potentially causing them to achieve lower.
