Ministers have rejected calls by a House of Lords committee to reform GCSEs and secondary education, but they have revealed some new details of their thinking on the issue.
The Lords committee on education for 11-16 year olds wanted a raft of changes, including scrapping the English baccalaureate (EBacc).
In its response today, government rejected most of its recommendations, saying it has “no plans for wholesale reform” of GCSEs.
But it has set out some more details.
