General Certificate of Secondary Education

 


Jump to navigationJump to search

According to Wikipedia the General Certificate of SecondaryEducation (GCSE in uk) is a set of exams taken in England, Wales, Northern Ireland and other British territories. They are usually taken by students aged 15–16, after two years of study. Some pupils can take their exams early if their teachers think the students are capable. Most students taking their GCSEs study between 5 and 12 subjects.

 

All pupils have to study English, mathematics and science until they are 15-16. They do not have to take the GCSE exams, but the large majority do so. In Wales, students must also study Welsh until they are 14.

 

Most schools require that a pupil passes 5 or more GCSE exams at grades 4 or 5 or above before they can move on to study A-levels.

It’s the second-most popular destination for international students after the USA and about 20% of those in higher education in the UK in 2017-18 were international students.   Among the big draws for students is the high quality of life and good employment prospects after graduation. So far citizens of a country in the European Union or the European Economic Area (EEA) have been able to live in the UK with few restrictions.
