Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what her policy is on the proportion of schools to be entered for the Ebacc combination of GCSEs by 2025.

The Government believes that the English Baccalaureate (EBacc) provides the right educational foundation for the majority of pupils. We want to see a significant increase in the proportion of pupils in mainstream secondary schools entering the EBacc combination of subjects at GCSE.

We will publish further detail about the EBacc policy in due course.
