ISN - Independent Education Trends '09

GCSEs and A-levels

GCSE and A-level examination answers given by students are to be published on the internet so that the public will be able to judge whether standards are worsening.

Over the past decade there has been a growing number of complaints that the gold standard of GCSEs and A levels has been compromised because the exams are getting easier.

Kathleen Tattersall, the head of Ofqual, the exams watchdog, says that she wants to put an end to the debate by publishing examples of GCSE and A-level exam scripts completed by the brightest pupils. She also wants to put on display artwork, technical designs and project work submitted for practical examinations to restore public confidence in the examination system.

What do you think of such a move? Do you feel it will help put an end to the debate? What is your view on the level of exams?
