Make English Literature an optional subject for GCSE

Petition Details

Many students feel that learning quotations for novels that are outdated and not relevant to today's society is unnecessary and a waste of time, therefore making it an optional subject and replacing it with a lesson dedicated to life skills would prove to be much more useful for the students

Additional Information

English Language should remain as a compulsory subject in the GCSE subject selection while English Literature should be optional as it is not a useful skill in later life. Furthermore, the amount that students are required to learn can be overwhelming for them and also requires significantly more effort relative to other subjects.
