From September 2024, GCSE pupils in Greater Manchester may be able to embark on a educational pathway created specifically for them.

Key Points: 
  • From September 2024, GCSE pupils in Greater Manchester may be able to embark on a educational pathway created specifically for them.
  • Andy Burnham, the mayor of Greater Manchester, announced his plans to introduce a Manchester Baccalaureate (MBacc) in May 2023 and a public consultation on the plans has recently closed.

Another path

    • The subjects required for the EBacc are GCSE English literature and language, maths, science, a language and either geography or history.
    • The MBacc, by contrast, could require students to study maths, English language and technology alongside optional subjects such as engineering, creative arts, or sciences.
    • The government is aiming for 90% of pupils in England to be taking the EBacc combination of subjects at GCSE by 2025.
    • The dual offering of the EBacc and MBacc is intended “to give a clear path to all young people in Greater Manchester, whatever their interests, ambitions and passions”.

Academic hierarchy

    • However, these new qualifications have yet to successfully bridge the division between academic and vocational study routes.
    • Teachers will need to be supported to give advice that does not assign a hierarchy to the two routes.
    • If this hierarchy emerges, the division that becomes apparent at 16 could begin even earlier.
