Jill Duffy, chief executive of the exam board OCR, has said these pupils end up getting stuck in a years-long cycle of resits - and that we're now seeing a "resit crisis".

In a statement released by OCR, Ms Duffy called for "fundamental reform to Maths and English secondary education - especially at Key Stage 3".

Jill Duffy, the head of the OCR exam board, said there was a "resit crisis".

Ms Duffy, from the OCR, said it could be because Spanish was a "massive global language" and Spain was a popular holiday destination.

Jill Duffy, chairwoman of the JCQ board of directors and chief executive of the OCR exam board, explains that "proportionally there are fewer girls taking the subject than in 2019".
