Students would need English and maths GCSEs, or two A-levels at grade E, to enable them to access student loans in England under new proposals.
Ministers have set out details for new minimum university entry requirements, and there will also be a consultation on plans to limit the number of university places available in England.
The question regarding English and maths GCSEs reads:
“Do you think that a grade 4 in English and maths GCSE (or equivalent), is the appropriate threshold to set for evidence of skills required for success in HE degree (L6) study, managed through their eligibility for student finance? (Yes or No).
Please explain your answer and provide reference to any pedagogical or academic sources of evidence to explain your reasoning.”
