The english baccalaureate is here already for state secondary schools - and the latest league tables record how many pupils achieve this.
table
Amusingly many of the private schools are bottom of these tables as few of the children take the standard GSCE Maths exam, but take the harder non standard IGCSE Maths instead (which is meant to be as tough as 'O' Level Maths).
And no I would not want to see music included in this, as the system would be prejudiced against working class children whose parents cannot afford expensive private lessons and the instruments.
PS It would be nice if all all those passing the baccalaureate were given full grants/scholarships at university as a reward.
