So say campaigners according to this Guardian piece from the weekend.
It could apparently be delayed until 2030....
The previous Conservative administration had supported creating the GCSE, which would teach pupils how to observe, identify and classify plants and animals.However, campaigners have claimed the plans had been shelved by Labour because the qualification was seen as a “Tory initiative”.
In response to a letter sent by Mary Colwell, Caroline Lucas and others...
A Department for Education spokesperson said on Saturday: “We are committed to driving high and rising standards in schools and ensuring all pupils benefit from a rich and balanced curriculum that sets them up for work and life.
“Through our National Education Nature Park programme, led by the Natural History Museum, children and young people are inspired to connect with nature and develop their understanding of their own role in climate change.
“The government is currently in the process of considering the next steps for a natural history GCSE.”
Let's see what happens next...
