Boris ignores the moaning doom mongers
Boris knows better.
Back in early July, a House of Commons committee report, chaired by a feisty Tory MP, warned that the education regulator, Ofqual, was heading for trouble after the latter ingeniously decided to give an algorithm the job of deciding A-level exam grades. The report said the algorithm would favor the kids of rich parents taught in small classes in private schools. Bright children in big state schools would suffer. In August this prediction was amply fulfilled.
