english baccalaureatte - non core subjects

[Rob_T]

please can someone 'educate' me on what is currently taught in schools.

the baccalaureatte has 5 core subjects:
maths, English, two science qualifications, a foreign language and either history or geography.

the above makes sense as a set of core subjects on which to build a rounded informed and competitive level of education.

can anyone tell me what the options for gcse's are these days? i'm sure it's changed, i was the first year for gcse's (1988)

in my day / school it was simply:

maths
english
physics
chemistry
biology
latin
french
geography
history
music
computer studies
scripure
business studies
economics
european studies
