Scientists say more modelling is needed to establish the effects of the new funding plan |
Scientists have asked the government to reconsider a plan to remove higher funding for A-level science courses.
In a letter to ministers the lobby group Science Community Representing Education (Score) said sciences cost more to run than many A-level subjects.
The loss of the 12% weighting "is likely to discourage schools and colleges from offering these more costly subjects", suggests the letter.
The government says funding for science A-levels will not be cut.
Score, which represents leading scientific institutions including the Royal Society, Institute of Physics, Royal Society of Chemistry and Society of Biology, is concerned that A-level funding changes will have "detrimental effects on the offering and uptake of science A-levels".
