<p>The Government believes that the majority of pupils should study a core academic
curriculum up to the age of 16. The core academic curriculum refers to the English
Baccalaureate (EBacc). The Government’s ambition is for 90% of pupils to enter the
EBacc subjects at GCSE. The national curriculum serves an important role in setting
out the sort of knowledge-based, ambitious, academically rigorous education which
every child should experience. It enables pupils to develop the knowledge, understanding,
skills and attitudes necessary for their self-fulfilment and development as active
and responsible citizens.</p>
