I see from today's TES that the government is to introduce a new exam that goes beyond A level. This is designed to ensure that UK students can be comparred more easily with countries abroad with less post 16 specialisation, by encouraging more specialisation. No I don't follow that logic either!
Good news. At least Economics is included.
Bad news: as usual Business Studies has been excluded from the initiative as "vocational subjects would devalue it"
Here we go again!
