Default Labour signals return of the 'O-level'
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main...25/ngcse25.xml

Quote:
Schools may be allowed to return to the more rigorous exam system abandoned when the GCSE replaced O-levels 18 years ago, the Government indicated last night.


You may begin: most IGCSEs do not include course work

Lord Adonis, the education minister, announced a consultation on whether state schools should be allowed to enter candidates for the IGCSE, the O-level type qualification which has survived because two exam boards continue to sell it abroad.
Yep and how about rolling back a load of other stuff back to things that worked too?
