English literature GCSE

Arran Cameron
What does the IET and the engineering community think of the English literature GCSE? Is it relevant or beneficial for engineering or is it (like food tech) something that hardly anybody cares about?


English literature is a near compulsory GCSE in England but is now optional in Wales where it has experienced quite a heavy decline in the number of secondary school students taking it.

    There was/is a an A level icalled 'the use of English', this was purely covering, as far as I can assertain structure, grammer, composition, etymology and possibly historical etymology.

    However, as you might have perceived, this was not one that I took.


    However, any strucutred learning has value if only to discipline the mind to concerntrate and evaluate ideas.
