Did your school make you do an ebacc for gcse?

Apparently its not an actual qualification

I'm in year 10 and my school is making us do EBACC and 2 other options. For some reason they also made RE compulsory for me.

what?? exactly the same as me wtf

Ikr, i wish i got to choose differently because instead of RE i would've preferred Drama or Music

ugh I chose the worst subjects fr, they're so boring ic with them

Apparently its not an actual qualification

It isn't a qualification - it only benefits your school.

Many schools mistakenly make students choose subjects they do not want to do just to fit Ebacc - creative subjects like Music and Graphics are suffering as a consequence.

Oof I chose Triple Science and Computer Science, I'm happy with language and geography but not RE

I didn't think I did ebacc (back in 2015) at first but thinking back my school were a bit annoyed I wanted to do Food Tech, graphics and history, they wanted me to take geography luckily they let me do the latter though because the timetabling allowed it

Yea i think something similar almost happened to me

My daughter was recommended to take the EBacc route but she decided not to as they made a language compulsory so she dropped EBacc. Best decision she made, secured four 9s and three 8s. Just received four offers so far from four universities and waiting for answer from the fifth one. EBacc makes no difference whatsoever and you should be given the choice if you are selected for EBacc. You don’t have to take it.
