Gove also said he wanted GCSE maths and science exams to be made tougher, adding: "We urgently need to ensure our children study rigorous disciplines instead of pseudo-subjects.
"In Massachusetts, 16-year-olds are asked, in their science exams, to identify the shape of a carbon tetrabromide molecule as predicted by the valence-shell repulsion theory.
"In England, 16-year-olds are asked in their science exams whether we sweat through our lungs or our skin."
