2.Introduction of the
English Baccalaureate
“The English Baccalaureate (EBacc) is a school performance measure. It allows
people to see how many pupils get a grade C or above in the core academic
subjects at key stage 4 in any government-funded school.
We introduced the EBacc measure in 2010. In June 2015, we announced our
intention that all pupils who start year 7 in September 2015 take the EBacc
subjects when they reach their GCSEs in 2020. We plan to consult on detailed
proposals to achieve this aim in autumn 2015”.
Department for Education- June 2015
EBacc subjects
The EBacc is made up of:
English
mathematics
history or geography
the sciences
a language
English
To pass the English element of the EBacc, pupils need to get 1 of the following:
an A* to C in English GCSE
an A* to C in English language GCSE and any grade in English literature GCSE
The Issue of EBacc
All teachers, parents/carers, and
pupils involved in the qualitative
work shared the view that pupils
should primarily be guided by their
interests and talents when selecting
GCSE subjects and, where pupils had
specific careers in mind, their career
aspirations. For some pupils this will
mean selecting EBacc subjects at
GCSE, but in many cases pupils’
interests and abilities will lie in other
subject choices.
The most commonly withdrawn subject is
drama or performing arts, with almost a
quarter (23%) of teachers whose schools have
withdrawn a subject saying that they no longer
offer this.
The Issue of EBACC
“computer science graduates are reported to have the worst
unemployment rates of any subject at 14%” Sept. 2013
….. Computer Science is an EBACC subject.
