Why were GCSE'S introduced?

We take GCSE's because we need them in later life.
If you want a job GCSE's are very important!
Just enjoy them while you can and try your best!!! :)

In addition universities look at GCSE's when you apply, so you have to do well to go to a good university.

GCSE's also help schools to separate their classes for the future, so you have to do well to be in a set with bright people.
