We have considered which subjects have the potential to meet our principles, including the need to ensure that all reformed subjects are of an appropriate level of academic demand. It is now for the Department for Education to consider whether content can be developed for those subjects that we think could meet our principles and, in turn, for exam boards to decide whether to submit specifications to us for accreditation. Importantly, we are not ruling out the future development of any subject.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Details of the announcement can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/consultations\/gcses-as-and-a-levels-new-subjects-to-be-taught-in-2015\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>-ends- <\/p>\n<div class=\"contact \" id=\"contact_2343\">\n<div class=\"content\">\n<h3>Press office<\/h3>\n<div class=\"vcard contact-inner\">\n<div class=\"email-url-number\">\n<p class=\"tel\">\n              <span class=\"type\">Press office<\/span><br \/>\n              0300 303 3342\n            <\/p>\n<p class=\"tel\">\n              <span class=\"type\">Out of hours<\/span><br \/>\n              07798 924 552\n            <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"comments\">For enquiries from journalists only.
