Synchronicity
Whilst the entire Education Lifelong Learning and Skills Committee, including all the opposition Education Spokespeople are in Denmark on a fact-finding trip the Minister makes a major announcement abolishing coursework for GCSEs. Coincidence? You tell me.
Thanks to the wonders of modern technology it did not stop us commenting, but it would have been so much better if we could have scrutinised the proposal properly in Committee or by way of a statement in Plenary. It seems that we are firmly ensconced in the era of Government by press release.
