Sally Weale Cogwent Questions Why do we need to continue with the GCSE examination, which is the only country in Europe with such analysis (‘They make young people sick’: Is the GCSE Scrap time?, 11 June). There are two additional reasons supporting the case for elimination.
First, the cost. GCSES a billion pound-plus industries. Fewer people realize that, every student, we spend more than the exam entry than to give resources to study the subject.
Second, most importantly, GCSE results are standardized as a curb of bell in results. The third or more of the young people received low-average results because the statistical model determines.
The government wants to improve technical and vocational education, but it does not occur while hundreds of thousands of young people are told that they are “not good at school”.

Sally Weale’s article on the impact of GCSs to young people, I attended a traditional colchester grammar school in the 1970s. We have a headteracher who expects to believe that seven o-levels are sufficient. One of these, English language, taken in year 10, remaining only six by the end of year 11.
There is no formal English literature exam, but students spend year 11 writes a high essay of a literary subject. It is marked at school, and a grade, even if unknown outside, given. It is made for a better year 11.
Unfortunately, my brother, who was in the top stream of his secondary modern school, there were many exams, with mixed or-level and CSES.
At the time, most students leave school at 16, while they are in full-time education or training up to 18. As if GCSE is an outmed exam to scrap.

GCSES are meant to know what students know, understand and can – they don’t. They should be checked fairly – they are not, as grades are based on behavior referencing. They are designed as a ritual in 16 times for students at the end of their law education – but 90% of students remain in education until they are 18 years old.
We need school-based systems and school assignments from 11 to 18, which can guide young people in their next best stage of learning, inexpensive and heavy and heavy and heavy and heavy and heavy and heavy gcses. Age 18 is the time for sleeping to school a young person, not 16. And we need the right recognition in which young people who continue to learn their life.

Tony Blair Institute for global change, arguing for scraping GCSES, named the person who rejected the diploma system, based in 2004 Tomlinson report. If it is “an act of decade” to achieve a new qualification framework, it may be now a decade in one if the new worker makes the change if it has a chance to have the opportunity to have the opportunity to have the opportunity to have the opportunity to have the opportunity to have a chance to have the opportunity to have the opportunity to have a chance to have the opportunity to have a chance to have the opportunity to have the opportunity to have a chance to have the opportunity to have the opportunity to have a chance to have the opportunity to have a chance to have the opportunity to have a chance to have the opportunity to have the opportunity to have a chance to have a chance to have the opportunity to have a chance to have the opportunity to have a chance to have the opportunity to have a chance to have the opportunity to have a chance to have a chance to have this opportunity to have a chance to have a chance to have the opportunity to have the opportunity to have the opportunity to have a chance to have the opportunity to have a chance to have a chance to have this opportunity.

In the current round of exams, my grandson must sit three a day. How’s that fair? How is it justified? Where does this mean? Yes, it’s time to scrap GCSES.
