It is just as depressing for the kids that have just worked their a.. off to get through exams as it is for those who went through the mill all those years ago when only one really clever guy in the whole school got straight As.

 

there should be a non government body to ensure a gold standard for A levels and GCSEs, then politicians would have to stop messing about with the education system for their own ends

 

(i didnt realise I felt so strongly about this to type that much)

Per dear Tone's masterplan 50% of school leavers were to attend University.

I keep asking wtf jobs were those Graduates going to get.

How many NHS Managers, Doctors, Soliciters, Civil Engineers etc, does any civilized society require?

And Nursing is not a Degree requiring job.

Why was a rigorous apprenticship scheme for trades people not encouraged.

Like the "Tech's" provided 40 year ago.

I guess 10%?, 15%? abs max 20% of any population are truely University material.

Rant over.

Those who go on to 6th form have already been to school and know what subjects they are good at, so why would they take an A level that they were going to fail???

 

Its about the grade, not just passing.

 

Its so funny that a group of ill educated, grumpy, old tree choppers are moaning about kids trying to get a decent start in life :001_rolleyes:
