Petition Ban state schools from making Religious Studies a mandatory GCSE subject
We call on the government to ensure that Religious Studies is not a compulsory GCSE subject in state schools. We believe that students should have the freedom to choose subjects that align with their interests and beliefs.
More details
GCSE results can have a massive impact on a student’s study opportunities after year 11, and forcing them to take exams on religions that they may not believe in could mean that their grades may suffer, limiting future study options. I think that students should focus on subjects that align with their interests, not be forced into Religious Studies.
