Government must increase practical elements in Drama GCSE guidelines
I want the Government to change the drama GCSE curriculum to be 70%+ practical, as currently it is majority written work. This is unwarranted as the subject is a practical piece of work. We believe this can demoralise students and possibly make them fail.

Background
As a GCSE drama student I am appalled by the written work forced onto people, and I believe that making drama a majority practical subject can not only improve grades, but improve work ethic and people who are taking the subject. Many people may also be encouraged to participate more.
