School is saying DS should take the ebaac-qualifying GCSE subjects or he will be looked on unfavourably by "Russell Group Universities".
DH is a professor at a Russell Group University and has never heard of the ebaac. So he reckons it doesn't matter provided you take testing subjects.
I have politely pointed out the the undergraduate admissions team might know a bit more.
The issue is that DS can't speak French. I mean he has a "level 4" but trust me he can't speak French and we reckon him spending two more years passing tests about using the conditional whilst being unable to say "he is going" is a waste of time and he'd be better off doing computer science instead.
He is v.good at the core subjects and can pass French tests.
