Rishi Sunak is considering a major reform of A-levels in England which could see the introduction of a new “British baccalaureate”.
The prime minister’s plans could include the compulsory study of maths and English up to the age of 18, according to newspaper reports.
The shake-up of A-levels would be controversial - but no final decision has been taken.
Labour said the proposals were an “undeliverable gimmick”.
I can guarantee that if the schools are well funded by the government and ran by teachers, the UK’s PISA scores would be among the best in the world.
