Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, when her Department plans to respond to its consultation on proposals to ensure that at least 90 per cent of pupils take GCSEs in EBacc subjects.

The English Baccalaureate provides the right foundation for most pupils, and we want to see a significant increase in the proportion of pupils in mainstream secondary schools entering the English Baccalaureate subjects at GCSE.

We are carefully considering the consultation responses and will publish the Government response in due course.
