On Monday morning, what may be the most dreaded and feared set of public exams England’s teenagers
have ever sat began in school assembly halls up and down the country.
It is 30 years since GCSEs (General Certificate for Secondary Education) were first introduced under
Margaret Thatcher, replacing O-levels and CSEs. The new exam was designed to cover a broad spectrum
of ability rather than dividing pupils between high achievers, who sat O-levels, and lower-ability students,
who took CSEs. Now, three decades later, following claims of grade inflation and dumbing down, GCSEs
have been revised and re-formed and a brand-new set of exams is being rolled out.
Gone are the old-style assessments with their forgiving modules, repeat exams and coursework. In their
place are Michael Gove’s super-tough, “gold-standard”, highly academic qualifications. Gove, secretary
of state for education between 2010 and 2014, believed the old GCSEs’ reliance on coursework
assessment was open to abuse. He argued that the content of the revised examinations should be pitched
at a more sophisticated level, claiming: “By making GCSEs more demanding, more fulfilling, and more
stretching we can give our young people the broad, deep and balanced education which will equip them
to win in the global race.”

Last week, we asked for our readers’ views about the new GCSEs and received more than 200
responses, an outpouring that was overwhelmingly – although not exclusively – negative. The more
extreme responses included accounts of suicide attempts by two pupils at one school, breakdowns, panic
attacks and anxiety levels so intense that one boy soiled himself during a mock exam. Some of the
responses from pupils were alarming. “GCSEs have been a horrible experience,” says one 16-year-old. “I
have suffered from panic attacks and a high increase in anxiety. It’s quite scary how as a student I find it
normal to see my peers break down in lessons as they are scared of what’s going to happen to them in the
future if they fail.”
Pressure in classrooms has been intense for the past two years as teachers have grappled with the new
specifications, for which they say there are inadequate resources or revision materials. The new exams
have been launched at a time when budgets are shrinking, schools are in deficit and parents are
increasingly being asked to fill the gaps with everything from monthly cash donations to glitter glue, pens
and even toilet paper. Nonetheless, schools are doing their best, with some laying on relaxation sessions,
yoga classes and resilience programs to support worried pupils.
