Mr. Alex Carlile

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he has any proposals to secure a reduction in the number of pupils in Wales who leave school without any qualifications; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Wyn Roberts

The aim of the GCSE examination and of our education reforms, including the national curriculum, is to raise education standards and thereby encourage 16-year-olds to take advantage of the various opportunities available for further study.
