English literature GCSE

Arran Cameron over 5 years ago

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.

How many engineers will read a book once a week? Once a month? Once a year? Think about it?.....:-)

<Raises hand>

OK, I've only managed to pick up a couple so far this year because I've been busy on other things in my spare time.
