Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether the expectation that all students should take Ebacc subjects applies to university technical college and studio school students.

We want all pupils to study rigorous academic subjects which give them the best start in life and help to keep their options open. We acknowledge that the EBacc will be inappropriate for a small minority of pupils, and we will work with the sector to identify them and consider what is expected for them. We plan to consult on detailed proposals in the autumn.
