'So stressful' - teachers and pupils say new GCSEs are leading to burnout

The implementation of the new GCSEs appears to be creating a high-pressure atmosphere in classrooms, which could have long-term implications for both educators and students. As the workload intensifies, the risk of burnout among teachers may lead to a significant loss of experienced professionals, while students may suffer from heightened anxiety and reduced academic performance. This situation calls for a reevaluation of assessment methods to prioritize mental health and sustainable teaching practices.
