At last the Government have been successful at something

// The number of students awarded top marks at A-level has dropped for the first time in 20 years, suggesting the biggest decline in A grades since records began. //

That was no accident, it was
// following a Government crackdown on "grade inflation". //

// Mr Gove said: “If the past two weeks have taught us anything, it is that the greater our ambition, the greater our achievement. //

Do you think our ambition for next years results should be for an even bigger decline?

I wonder if those who want to stop numerous retakes think the same should apply to the driving test?

'A' levels are not high enough to get you an important job. Even people with degrees are sweeping the streets. The future is in self employment.

jake-the-peg obviously has his own agenda! How to turn a thread about A Levels into a comment about driving tests!
