With A-Level choices typically submitted in March by students in Year 11, new research from Quizlet has found that over a quarter of female students are planning to study STEM* subjects at A-Level next year.

Key Points: 
  • With A-Level choices typically submitted in March by students in Year 11, new research from Quizlet has found that over a quarter of female students are planning to study STEM* subjects at A-Level next year.
  • Despite previous data showing that female students are less likely to opt for STEM subjects in higher education, Quizlet's research reveals that the mindset towards women in STEM is changing – with 68% of GCSE students now saying that female students are just as likely as males to choose STEM subjects to study at A Level.
  • This rings true, as more female students (26%) are planning to study Biology versus male students (22%) in 2024, whilst a whopping 80% of female students would now say that science is an important subject to study at A-Level.
  • At Quizlet, we aim to support all students on achieving their study goals and remain a fail-safe study aid for students embarking on their A-Level journey in 2024 and beyond."

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.
