The current GCSE is focused on computer science and developing programming skills, and this seems to deter some young people, in particular girls, from taking up the subject. We need to ensure computing is a subject that is appealing to all pupils and meets the needs of young people and society.

We need to dumb the subject down until it benefits nobody - thereby making it equal.

What about subjects like History and Classics?

Granted, IME those classes were about 98% boys anyway.
