ATL COMMENT ON GCSE LEAGUE TABLES

10 January 2008

Dr Mary Bousted, general secretary of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers (ATL), said:

“The GCSE league tables are of no educational value, undermine collaboration between schools, and tell parents little about schools or their child’s learning.

“It is time the Government overcomes its obsession with narrow targets and allowed changes to the curriculum and testing regime to give children a more rounded education which fully develops and recognises their skills and abilities.”
