schools included Exemplar-Newark Business Academy, whose previous application was rejected because of concerns over creationism, and a third school in Kent. Both schools said they would teach creationism in RE but not in Science. The British Humanist Association (BHA) said teaching creationism in any syllabus was unacceptable. In 2014, Gove's department acceded to the BHA's campaign by banning creationism from being taught as science in state-funded English schools, including academies and free schools, as well as introducing a requirement that such schools must teach evolution. 2012 English GCSE results In September 2012, following the furore surrounding the downgrading of GCSE English results, he refused, during his answers to the Parliamentary Education Committee on 12 September, to instruct Ofqual to intervene, and attacked his Welsh counterpart as "irresponsible and mistaken" for ordering disputed GCSEs to be regraded.

Social work training In November 2013 Gove delivered a speech to the NSPCC in which he argued that social work training involved "idealistic students being told that the individuals with whom they will work have been disempowered by society". Gove held that students were being "encouraged to see [service users] as victims
