Petition Action

Include more modern and diverse authors in the GCSE English curriculum

Petition Details

I want the Government to review the old existing texts and plays and to include some authors written by women and people who come from a diverse background. One report suggested 1% of GCSE students have studied a book written by an author of colour.

Additional Information

I think the texts are outdated and not relevant for the growing world. Also that students find these particular texts boring and they are particularly uninterested in something they may not particularly relate too.

If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
