Accuracy

[edit]

2019 GCSE entry figures:[1]

  • GCSE
    • Combined science - 786,830
    • Physics - 159,555
  • AS Level
    • Physics - 5,820
  • A Level
    • Physics - 36,420

The number of GCSE sudents (14-16 age group) outnumbers the A & AS level (16 - 18 age group) by a factor of 22:1. The lead of the article "Physics education in the United Kingdom is mostly carried out from the ages of 16 to 18 at secondary schools..." is therefore grossly inaccurate. --John B123 (talk) 19:27, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
