How can such a flexible system of minimum entitlement statements adequately prepare pupils for GCSE?
• The Statements of Minimum Entitlement (SMEs) represent the foundations for learning in the subject strands, and encompass sufficient aspects of the current Programmes of Study to lay the groundwork for GCSE. • With an increasing emphasis on the development of skills and capabilities it is anticipated that pupils will be able to deal with the content of GCSE courses in a more meaningful way.
