Default Re: A level results

Not sure if these have got easier or not as the whole system has changed so much as to make comparison very hard.What has changed is the numbers of students coming out with bits of paper that say "degree" or whatever qualification,and that ultimately devalues the qualification.Rightly or wrongly it used to be the case that only the top 5% got A levels and 2% got degrees and they were the elite.Now with policy saying 50% should go to university that level of education is no longer the elite level,but the norm.Its status and remuneration will suffer accordingly.
