Another humiliation for Govey

Following close on the heals his embarrassing GCSE/Ebac u-turn, come this damning criticism of his plan for A and AS levels:

Universities Attack A Level Reforms

These were the very institutions that he wanted to devise the Brave New World for him.

I have thought for sometime that education (like a handful of other areas like health) is too important to be left to politicians.  Since mad Govey emerged (from the world of journalism!) this thought has been reinforced every time he opens his  mouth.  I'm clearly not alone.  I understand that the Headteachers' Roundtable have suggested something like this.

I wouldn't want to give the impression, by the way, that I have any time for the elitism of the Russell Group.  A glance at the University League Table 2013 shows that a number of them don't make it into the top 20 whilst several more modern institutions do.

I wouldn't, of course, want to give the impression that I believe educational league tables are valid!

But they must do.
