Grade inflation at GCSE level is one thing, but this is a whole new ball game:
University students with exam marks as low as 26% were given pass grades in an effort to reduce failure rates, documents reveal.
Leicester’s De Montfort University raised marks for five modules of a pharmacy course in 2004, the Times Higher Education Supplement found.
In one, they were increased by up to 14 percentage points, details gained under the Freedom of Information Act show.
New Labour is rapidly turning the British education system into an international laughing stock.
We have no chance of competing in the global marketplace with a rubber stamped workforce who turn out to be as thick as mince.
It had previously been stated that students “were not up to the rigours of the programme [and] that they did not have the right attitude to study”.
Lecture attendance was low and there was “a lack of work”.
If that is the case, the University would be more than justified in pointing a finger of blame at the Government for screwing up secondary education. Why all the smoke and mirrors?
In 2004 staff were told that failure rates of 50% could put their jobs at risk, meeting minutes show.
Ah. Well, at least we have some motive.
The university said it had “every confidence” in its pharmacy course.
I’m sure you’ll excuse me if I don’t have every bloody confidence. There was a time when having a university education meant something. New Labour with their socialist anti-elitism have made a university education just about worthless to everybody.
