The government plans to shake up its EBacc secondary school attainment measure to “incentivise” entry to the full suite of subjects.
In a guidance update issued tonight, the Department for Education said it would “explore making changes to the headline EBacc attainment measure” – which is an “average point score” for EBacc subjects.
The measure gives schools a score across the five pillars of the EBacc, which are English, maths, science, a language and history or geography.
But the DfE said it wanted to “move to a headline EBacc attainment measure that incentivises full EBacc”.
