Editing GCSE (section)

===Subjects===
The list of currently available GCSE subjects is much shorter than before the reforms, since the new qualifications in England all have core requirements set by the regulator, [[Ofqual]], for each subject. In addition there are several subjects for which only one board offers qualifications, including some that are available only in one country of the UK for that reason. The following lists are sourced from the exam board websites.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://qualifications.pearson.com/en/qualifications/edexcel-gcses/about/first-teaching-from-2015-and-2016.html|title=First teaching from 2015 and 2016 {{!}} Pearson qualifications|website=qualifications.pearson.com|language=en-gb|access-date=2017-11-29}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://qualifications.pearson.com/en/qualifications/edexcel-gcses/about/first-teaching-from-2017.html|title=First teaching from 2017 {{!}} Pearson qualifications|website=qualifications.pearson.com|language=en-gb|access-date=2017-11-29}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://qualifications.pearson.com/en/qualifications/edexcel-gcses/about/first-teaching-from-2018.html|title=First teaching from 2018 {{!}} Pearson qualifications|website=qualifications.pearson.com|language=en-gb|access-date=2017-11-29}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://wjec.co.uk/qualifications/levels/gcse/#linked-quals-section|title=WJEC GCSE Qualifications|website=wjec.co.uk|language=en|access-date=2017-11-29}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.aqa.org.uk/qualifications|title=Qualifications|website=aqa.org.uk|language=en|access-date=2017-11-29}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.eduqas.co.uk/qualifications/|title=Qualifications|website=eduqas.co.uk|language=en|access-date=2017-11-29}}</ref>
