Oral answer to question provided on Thursday, 29 June 2006 in the House of Commons, by Bill Rammell (Labour), Department for Education and Skills.


Engineering Students

Answer

My hon. Friend is correct. The specialist schools programme has helped us to take the agenda forward. In addition, our commitment by 2008 to ensure that all pupils achieving at least level 6 and over at key stage 3 will be entitled to study three separate science GCSEs, if necessary through collaboration, is an important step forward.

This is an answer to the Oral question asked on Thursday, 29 June 2006 by Jeff Ennis (Labour).

Question
Does my hon. Friend agree that the opportunity for schools, such as Ridgewood school in Scawsby, Doncaster, in my constituency, to apply for specialist engineering status will have a positive impact on the number of students who will study engineering at university in future?
