The head of AQA has been talking this week about borderline students and the impact of Functional Skills on them. Quote Mike Cresswell "It's clear that there's a significant impact on the number of people getting a grade C" He goes onto say
"Looking at the information we have now will lead you to beleive that there will be quite a lot of students would otherwise get grade C who will not do so well when this has to include Functional Skills"
He's talking about 2010 when FS become an integral part of GCSE. The first league table reports will be published 2012.
Is it any coincidence the Government has brought forward the target of improving schools from 2012 to 2011?
