Re: [Update] "English Baccalaureate" replaces GCSE in England
For future generations I hope Michael Gove knows what he is doing. I hope he has looked at all the evidence and chosen the best solution. Education needs to do two things. It needs to teach and then measure a persons ability.
Is the move from coursework to more lecture based study a better teaching method, I’m not sure?
Is a single exam at the end of a course the best way to measure ability, I’m sure of that either?
It’s possible that multiple approaches are needed.
Employers with tell you that change is needed, and I don’t disagree I just hope there is a strong evidential basis for this change and not just political ideology.
