Reduce the amount of poems to learn for the English literature GCSE exam
Children at the age of 15-16 are expected to remember quotes from 18 poems this is too much to remember especially on top of the 3 books and endless amounts of equations that they are expected to learn off by heart.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
The Government's requirements for English Literature GCSE say that any poetry selection published by awarding organisations (like exam boards) must "should comprise no fewer than 15 poems by at least five different poets, and a minimum of 300 lines of poetry". They don't say that students need to learn quotes from 18 poems.
