catgate Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 Is this what we are paying tax for? No wonder we need a shake up. No wonder the pass rate is so good.http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/education/6038638.stmBut from this September, most are taking a GCSE in "scientific literacy for the 21st Century" - covering issues including global warming and mobile phone technology.

Alan2273 Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 catgate, I have to agree with you on this.Although it is over 40 years since i left grammar school, the subjects of Physics, Chemistry & Biology were separately taught, so you got a thorough grounding in all the three subjects.I accept that new technology should be encompassed into the curriculum, but not to the detriment of the subject.
