so no more coursework ,could be argued if this is a good or bad thing, exam at the end of the two years, so going back to how it used to be, isnt this showing a massive lack of innovation?!

gove seems like a prize pr1ck to me, teachers not happy about not being consulted

but the WORSE bit is changing marking system from a*-g to 1-8, thats the same FFS! whats the point?!

It's a joke, Gove doesn't know anything. He has never been a teacher in his life, yet he is education secretary. If it isn't broken don't fix it. He is a typical Tory w*****.

I think it's a terrible idea. Simple as that.

History will require more study of British history. Pupils will have to write an in-depth study of a 25-to-50-year period within a range of eras stretching from 500AD to the present day.

Won't be long til Gove is forced to back track - again.

Only announced today in an attempt to deflect attention from embarrassing climb down on changing nursery/child care ratios.

 

[Marco Materazzi]

500AD does anything actually happen then?

Does Cameron just keep him around to make himself look better?

Michael Gove, If I ever saw him on the street I would ****ing break his nose.

the Tory [Poor language removed] just wants to make a name for himself.

Mods?

Seems strange to get rid of coursework, so many skills you use in completing it (time management chiefly) are so I,portent for the rest of your life.

Calm down mate. Politics forums all over the web. Unless you want to put him in the "smack him lad" thread, leave it out.

That's exactly what he'd want you to do, then he'd go and get treated at a private hospital while suing you until you could no longer afford to pay the rent on your shabby working class bedsit.
