Government must increase practical elements in Drama GCSE guidelines
I want the Government to change the drama GCSE curriculum to be 70%+ practical, as currently it is majority written work. This is unwarranted as the subject is a practical piece of work. We believe this can demoralise students and possibly make them fail.
As a GCSE drama student I am appalled by the written work forced onto people, and I believe that making drama a majority practical subject can not only improve grades, but improve work ethic and people who are taking the subject. Many people may also be encouraged to participate more.
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.
