Closed Make GCSE Science an optional subject

Closed on

I think that GCSE Science should be made an optional subject. I think that students should not be forced to take science as a subject.

If not made optional, students who fail GCSE science should be forced to resit it, bringing it in line with the requirements for GCSE English and Maths which are both also mandatory subjects.
