British educational qualifications
The General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) is an academic qualification in a range of subjects taken in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. It was introduced in September 1986 and its first exams were taken in 1988. Most schools in Scotland use the Scottish Qualifications Certificate instead. However, a few private schools choose to follow the English GCSE system.
