Hi all, I’m back in residence now after a cycle through the UK (John O’Groats to Land’s End) and what do I come home to - yes, the annual exam results media feeding frenzy. In my day results barely warranted more than a brief mention, but these days it seems to have become a regular fixture.
In light of the record number of A*s for GCSEs and the intense media interest, the question I would pose is this: what are the likely effects of ever-increasing record levels of high passes? Will this help or hinder meritocracy?
