"The scale of "grade inflation" in schools and universities since Labour came to power is laid bare in official figures today.
The number of A grades at A-level and top honours degrees has soared more than 50 per cent since 1997."
How could anyone be surprised, it's another measure of the success this Government has brought to this country. Not enough people succeeding, move the goalposts - NHS failing, change the measures that are reported against - unemployment too high, disqualify some groups from the statistics.
"The Government-backed review of the degree classifications system, headed by Leicester University vice-chancellor Bob Burgess, is expected to report on a possible alternative later in the year.
Widespread disagreement among university bosses has delayed its conclusions but it is expected to recommend a new system based on a simple pass/fail grade.
This would be backed by a detailed transcript of students' achievement.
The review has already concluded the ancient system is "unfit for purpose". "
Government-backed review! Unfit for purpose!
Say no more.

Blair is all about moving the goal posts. I don't think he has achieved one thing with his policies except for the destruction of Britain
