Existing biology GCSE curriculum inadequately addresses crucial aspects of insect study.
Conclusion
The existing biology and core sciences GCSE curriculum inadequately addresses crucial aspects of insect study and focuses on a limited selection of ecological roles. We applaud the introduction of the new Natural History GCSE, which aims to not only encompass scientific knowledge but also lay the foundations of skills necessary for pursuing a career in entomology and other nature-related subjects. (Paragraph 88) 48 Insect decline and UK food security
