Sensitivity concern over RS exam
Published: 15 February, 2008
Coursework in religious studies GCSEs has been scrapped because of concerns children are being left to study "sensitive" topics unsupervised. Exam watchdogs headed by England's Qualifications and Curriculum Authority say they were bowing to concerns raised about planned changes to 28 subjects.

But the QCA said that following an overwhelming number of objections it would not be pushing ahead with the original plans. Related articles:
