UK Schools to Drop 'Dumbed Down' Science

Looks like they're discovering in the UK that merging all the sciences into a single course doesn't work that well.

The move is an acknowledgement that the double science GCSE, taken by 95 per cent of state schools since its introduction in the 1990s, fails to prepare pupils for sixth form study.


I think the schools and universities in the UK are still struggling in trying to raise the enrollment and popularity of physics to the students. The declining trend seems to have been reserved here in the US, at least for now.
