Great to see the biggest % increase in non-compulsory #GCSE subject entires this yr was in Biology, Chemistry & Physics (as part of double award)
@thetimes: "160,110 pupils in England took chemistry [in 2018] compared w 53,309 in 2008”

However, looking ahead to uni, only “46% of [STEM] graduates pursued careers in science, with the rest preferring management, banking or teaching” - says research by Leicester & Warwick unis, quoted in @thetimes thetimes.co.uk/article/boom-i…

Which are great careers - esp teaching - but @Telegraph reports @NAOorguk as saying “there are particular shortages of STEM skills at technician level, but an oversupply in other areas, such as biological science graduates,” telegraph.co.uk/politics/2018/…

So, more GCSE students taking double science 🙌 but less #university #stem graduates going into #stem careers 😞
Shall shalt be done? 🤔
I also need to add the GCSE ➡️ ALevel ➡️ Uni steps. Can anyone do that for me? (I’ve got a script I need to write!)
