Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what estimate his Department made of the average number of examination papers taken by each student as part of the GCSE syllabuses.
The department does not collect data on the average number of GCSE examination papers taken by students. The average number of GCSE qualifications per student in 2021 was 7.85. The number of examination papers per GCSE varies across subjects.
