GCSE
General Certificate of Secondary Education

The General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) is an academic qualification awarded in a specified subject, generally taken in a number of subjects by students aged 14-16 in secondary education in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. It was introduced in 1986 (with the first examinations taking place in 1988), replacing the former General Certificate of Education [GCE]O Level / CSE qualifications.One of the main changes was to allow students to complete coursework during their two years of study, which was marked by their teachers and contributed to their final examination grade.
