Pete,
Comments please, I appreciate that this is a subject that you are well qualified to comment on .....
Meanwhile, the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority has repeatedly approved lowering the pass mark for the national standard in English for 11-year-olds “to maintain standards”. Last year it was cut to 41; in 2002 it was 49. Almost half of universities and (according to the CBI) one in three companies feel obliged to give school-leavers remedial classes in reading and writing.
Need I go on? Government claims about rising standards in schools are ludicrous.
