We need to reform the UK exam system. There should only be one UK Exam Board rather than the 5+ we have presently. This would allow the direct comparison between results and dismiss the claim that one Exam Board is easier than that one. Likewise this would give Universities and College a level playing field to asses one set of results against another. Further, for an employer it will be clear as well.

Hi. Just to clarify. Do you mean one exam board for England or the whole of the UK? There’s a considerable difference between qualifications in England and Scotland and merging them or creating something new would be quite something. It would also create a constitutional rammy up here.

One Exam Board for England.
