Re: Exam Results
Taking a 30,000 ft view to me this indicates a much deeper seated weakness in the UK education system. Right from the get-go I'll say that concentration should be on a national syllabus and the STEM subjects.
Looking at what other EU countries did compared with the UK in my opinion shows that there was far too much reliance placed on the civil service to come out with a proposal on what to do which inevitably was going to be at best airy-fairy (committee-horse-camel syndrome) and at worst politically correct load of rubbish.
The problem ONCE AGAIN lays with our awful civil service.
Come on Cummings, please sort them out by draining the swamp and remind them of their real role. Make them see they are NOT in charge and do your damnedest to ensure that those who can't or more likely won't behave accordingly are got rid of.
