Guest   #109 Posted December 10, 2005 Originally posted by SHsheff How Tony Blair ever thought (still thinks?) that 50% of school leavers (read that figure again and weep) should be at UNIVERSITY is a leap of faith that beggars all common sense.  If the dumming down of A Levels continues, 50% of school-leavers will be at university. A Levels are all modular now, with lots of course work. Gone are the days of all-or-nothing exams at the end of two years of work.  Ok, maybe final exams were not very good for the stress levels, but apparently students can now even retake the modules they fail first time around. No wonder many of them are getting six grade A's! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
