Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether it is the Government's policy that 75 per cent of students will take the EBacc combination of GCSE subjects by 2022.

The Government believes that the English Baccalaureate (EBacc) provides the right educational foundation for the vast majority of pupils. Since 2015, the Government has been clear that we want to see 90 per cent of pupils study the EBacc combination of subjects at GCSE. We will publish further detail about the EBacc policy in due course.
