In order to give young people more science and technology knowledge and boost the UK’s skills in this area, the CBI is calling for a change in how students take science GCSEs. At the moment the majority of pupils take just one combined GCSE science. However
these new plans would involve students that perform well in science at the age of 14 sitting separate exams in biology, chemistry and physics. It’s good to see that business is recognising that we need more skills in the technical arena, and that they’re proactively
working towards helping young people to take advantage of the many exciting opportunities available in this sector.
