The UK government has apologised to Ukrainian refugee children who were told to study Russian at school in England because no Ukrainian GCSE existed. Schools minister Georgia Gould said she was sorry pupils were put in that position. A new Ukrainian GCSE is being developed by the AQA exam board with a £340,000 government grant, with first teaching due in 2028 and exams in 2029.
