The Guardian, 7 Jan 2013: Gove is careering towards an omnifiasco over baccalaureate

 

"The education secretary's plans to replace GCSEs with the Ebacc have met with furious opposition, and he should pay heed to the many concerns, argues Fiona Millar here.

 

There is a telling line in the evidence given at the end of last year by Michael Gove to the Education select committee. Quizzed about the way his department is managing reform of KS4 qualifications, the secretary of state explained: "Coherence comes at the end of the process"."

The Ebacc is ill thought out, incoherent and more than anything divisive, creating a two tier system that goes against everything I believe in in education. It's time Mr Gove stops destroying our education system and starts living in the real world where vocational and academic qualifications are equally important to the society as a whole instead of advancing a few at the cost of the majority!
