Closed petition ALL GCSEs to be optional not compulsory, allowing equal value to ALL subjects

All Subjects to be optional, allow every subject equal value, looking at students as individuals with equally valued skills as the next student. Maths & English is important to a level but beyond this, not necessary for every individual. Other subjects such as Art, Music & Sport to be valued on par

More details

With ever growing mental health issues within our youth I feel it is time we look at the education system & realine this with our changing world. By keeping English, Maths, Science compulsory we are projecting these subjects as more important than others. Most individuals will only need a base level on these subjects & thier skills may lay in Art, Sport, Music yet these subjects are not given equal value in this country. Education needs looking at for individuals to feel worth in their skills.
