§ 41. Mr. Michael McNair-Wilsonasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if she has received any report 133W from the Schools Council containing a recommendation that there be a revision of the O-level examination system so that no certificate may be granted unless at least five subjects have been passed at the same sitting, and if she will make a statement.
§ Miss Margaret JacksonNo such report has been received. The Schools Council has proposed a common system of examining at 16+ to replace the existing GCE O-level and CSE examinations, but this would involve examinations on a single subject basis as at present.
