Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment his Department has made of the potential merits of OCR's proposal for a GCSE in natural history.
This question was answered on 1st April 2022
It is vital that children are taught about environmental and sustainability issues, which is why these are covered in the science and geography curriculums.
The department is exploring proposals for a new GCSE in natural history and has engaged with the examination board, OCR, on this matter. The department is carefully considering these proposals and will provide further details in due course.
