EXAM RESULTS IN BRITAIN AND FRANCE ARE RIDICULOUS !!!


In both France and Britain, two countries I know well, the exam results of school leavers have regularly improved.

All the Ministers of Education have congratulted themselves on the levels achieved by Schools and the teachers !!!

It has got to the point where, if a school leaver does not "pass" comendably, with whatever "low" grades available, he really must have had a special excuse !!!

Over the years getting to university has become more easy.  Staying at university and achieving a commendable degree has escaped more than a few students.

Governments are partly to blame because a student cannot be classified as "workless" !!!  To avoid  increased "unemployed" statistics, governments do not prevent "hopeless" students going to Universities.

In fact, Government money to encourage the young, at an early age (14 perhaps) to become "apprentices", to learn a manual trade, could redivert money from useless education to something more practical.  Doing a manual trade is not "failure" !!!   Failing at university level is not an achievement !!!

It would seem that Ministers of Education have lost the plot !!!
