Letter: Letter: Overseas choice

Published 21 July 1990

From JAMES CAMBRIDGE

I sympathise with Judith Kerr and her problems with choice of A-level
subjects (Letters, 23 June). It is to be regretted that sixth-form students
in England and Wales are denied the opportunity to study as wide a range
of subjects as their peers in international schools around the world, who
can follow a course of six subjects that must include two languages, a study
of man, mathematics and an experimental science.

A review of further education is long overdue, and I think that the
International Baccalaureate presents a curriculum model that is worthy of
consideration.
