Open Make GCSE Maths optional and introduce an alternative, easier qualification

Created by Eleyne Bennett
Closes on

I want to introduce an alternative, easier maths qualification for people for whom GCSE Maths isn’t attainable. This qualification could have different requirements that are more achievable.

Many people struggle with numbers, and the requirement to pass GCSE Maths puts them under pressure. This can cause stress and anxiety.
