Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what recent assessment he has made of the effect of the introduction of the EBacc on the number of students studying music post-14.
The English Baccalaureate (EBacc) should be studied as part of a broad and balanced curriculum. The attached table shows that the proportion of students taking GCSE music since 2010 when the EBacc was introduced has fluctuated but remained broadly stable.
