GCSE


Abbreviation for General Certificate of Secondary Education, in the UK, from 1988, the examination for 16-year-old pupils, superseding both GCE O level and CSE, and offering qualifications for up to 60% of school leavers in any particular subject.

The GCSE includes more practical and course work than O level, although course work was reduced in syllabuses from 1993.

GCSE subjects are organized as part of the National Curriculum.
