So, A Levels and GCSE exam results were decided by a computer algorithm as students were on lock down for 5 months and could not take exams which would decide their futures. What happened? Students were graded according to the school they were going to and not by individual performance. Teacher assessments were ignored. Instead those in top tier private schools were given excellent grades while those in lower performing public school were downgraded, many losing their places to universities. The public furore over this has caused the government to do a U-turn over the fiasco but not before immense pain and turmoil to students and many universities saying it is too late for some of those students to be given places for the next academic year. The universities are in turmoil too. And the gap continues to widen between the rich and the rest of the population.

Where is Boris? We are told he’s camping in Scotland with fiancée Carrie Symonds and baby son Wilfred... Either way, he must be aware that the Government is embroiled in yet another crisis, thanks to the incompetent and uncontrite Education Secretary, Gavin Williamson.

According to the Guardian: a company run by longterm associates of Michael Gove and Dominic Cummings has been working behind the scenes with the exams agency Ofqual on its disastrous strategy for determining A-level results, Public First, a policy and research firm owned by James Frayne and Rachel Wolf, who both formerly worked for Gove, has been involved on the project with Ofqual since June after being granted a contract that was not put out to competitive tender. https://www.theguardian.com/education/2020/aug/20/firm-linked-to-gove-and-cummings-hired-to-work-with-ofqual-on-a-levels

Rachel Wolf is a Founding Partner at Public First, leading the agency’s policy work. Rachel co-authored the Conservative Party’s Election Manifesto in 2019. Previously education and innovation adviser to the Prime Minister at 10 Downing Street, she was also Senior Vice President for technology company Amplify in New York City, running one of their main product divisions. She founded and ran the New Schools Network – the charity that helped develop and implement the Government’s free schools programme.

The network worked with 22 of these schools,[1] including the journalist Toby Young in his project to set up the new West London Free School in Hammersmith... In 2013, then-current Chief Operating Officer Natalie Evans assumed the role of Director of NSN on the departure of Rachel Wolf. She was succeeded by Nick Timothy in July 2015, who was subsequently replaced by Toby Young in January 2017.[11][12][13] Young resigned in March 2018[14], following criticism in the media over his appointment to the board of Office for Students and controversial comments he had made in the past.

The dark history of how eugenics was developed in Britain..

'Most often associated with Nazi atrocities, eugenics was a theory developed by Victorian scientist and statistician Sir Francis Galton. ', "When he died in 1911, Galton endowed UCL with his personal collection of archives, and a bequest which funded the country's first professorial Chair of Eugenics."

'University College London (UCL) recently launched an urgent investigation into reports that a senior academic secretly ran a conference on eugenics at the institution for three years. '

Toby Young was prominent attendee of last year’s conference run by an honorary senior lecturer at the London university..

Previous attendees included Richard Lynn, whom the US-based research group Southern Poverty Law Center labelled an “unapologetic eugenicist”, and the blogger Emil Kirkegaard, who has written supportively about pedophiles being allowed to have “sex with a sleeping child”.
