Reinstate IT GCSEs

Petition Details

With the disaccreditation of the overwhelming majority of ICT/ IT GCSE's there is now an urgent IT skills shortage among our young people as they leave school to go to work. They are not skilled in using Databases, Spreadsheets office style Word Processing functions or Desk Top publishing.

Additional Information

The introduction of Computer Science has been a massive boom for our technically capable young people and Computing in the curriculum has been an excellent addition to the curriculum we deliver.

However, those remaining "IT" qualifications devalue the the production of working digital products and useful digital skills and knowledge in favour of 'hoop jumping' paperwork masquerading as rigour.
