Article Abstract:

The UK Government is introducing measures to enable students to appeal against public examination results by returning their marked papers as of Summer 1999, although students are able to make appeals before this time. A fee of around 35 pounds sterling must be paid for an investigation to ensure the mark has been attributed to the right candidate and that the marks have been correctly calculated. The exam will be be re-marked, with the candidate then able to go before the Independent Appeals Authority for School Examinations. Just two of the seven such appeals in 1997 were upheld.

Some A-levels should be more equal than others

Article Abstract:

The standards of Advanced-level (A-level) examinations must be retained even though their scope must be widened, as they are taken by 50% of all young people in the 1990's compared with just 5% in the 1940's when they were first introduced. Two types of A-level examination should be introduced to differentiate the learning needs of those seeking employment when aged 18 and those seeking further education, while module A-levels should be differentiated from single examination A-levels. Apprenticeships should also become more widespread in the UK.

Is it a phase or is it a bully?

Article Abstract:

There is growing evidence that aggression is becoming more common among pre-school children in the UK. Primary schools are taking in more disruptive children as a result, and there has been a rise in the number of exclusions among very young junior school children. Some experts believe that rising aggression among pre-school children is a reflection of the increasing pressures on families with young children. Parents often do not have family support, and may not be able to give appropriate attention to their children in their very early years.
