Title: Now lets have a go at the UK education system......
Post by: Kosh on December 01, 2008, 03:29:52 am
 The Royal Society of Chemistry (http://www.rsc.org/AboutUs/News/PressReleases/2008/Number10Petition.asp) is having a go at it for deliberately dropping standards to improve appearances of pass rates.


Quote
The RSC has powerful evidence of the decline in standards, adding to the revelation that students are able to receive a "good pass" with a mark of 20%


A "good pass" with only 20%? Pathetic.

You won't get as much debate on this one. We Brits all know it's a joke.

If this kind of thing was limited to one nation, I would laugh.  :(

In our Year 11 Physics class we could pass the complex part as long as we got one mark. But that's a C, which, as I'm sure you know, is just a sound. The other two bits you could fail.

But that's Australia, not UK.
