Yes oldie you are right about coursework v exams and the pros of coursework that you identified. But, and I can understand this to an extent, if it were coursework completely then there may well be grade-inflation. They would need to alter and look closely at the criteria required to achieve the top grades so that the normal distribution curve ranging from pass to fail was still maintained. And of course there are certain tendencies that get exaggerated in the current system. There are gender imbalances insofar as it appears females do better with coursework, whilst males appear to do better with an exam system. That’s a very blunt statement but exams are preferred by some so it may not be as popular as we sometimes think. I would suggest though that the biggest obstacle to any change is the government itself. Conservative governments love exam based systems, it’s what they are used to in their own experience I would imagine. I don’t think they have ever totally trusted teachers despite saying they do and their actions show that they work independently of the educational experts and because of that there is always a friction between government and education. Right. It seems to me then that a combination of coursework assessment and a final examination on core learning outcomes appears to me to be the optimum system. Which is what we had until these loonies took over in 2010. On grade inflation? Unless it is silly, such as 100% of students getting a 100% mark, does it really matter? It has always been my opinion that the veracity of the marking and it's verification is the key issue, get that right and everything else follows. In my opinion, which of course is always correct (🤣🤣) Totally agree should never have moved away from Course work and a final exam. |

Today's Telegraph carries a story that there will be a small reshuffle in September but any major ones will not be until next year.
According to the article, Williamson is safe but question marks over Liz Truss and Ben Wallace (Defence).
Both International Trade (post Brexit) and Defence (defence review is ongoing at the moment) are busy right now, good time to make changes???
Williamson is an ex chief whip so may know where the skeletons are.
Oh, and Boris is on holiday in Scotland.

I'm sure it's from a 100% selfish perspective being from him, something has put his nose out of joint so he's throwing toys. Just thought it was a huge change from the usual gibberish his types are known for oldie. |

National debt hit 2 Trillion for the first time . Take away Covid and it wouldn't be, they had to spend as they did. However the doubling of National Debt between 2010 and pre covid sits with this lot. Especially as in 2010 they forecast they would be PAYING DOWN debt from 2014. Clowns 🤣🤣🤣🤣 |

National debt hit 2 Trillion for the first time . Usually public services are cut to pay off the debt, going to be interesting as there is only the NHS left! |
