Proceeding contribution from James Clappison (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 7 May 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Testing and Assessment.
Testing and Assessment
Notwithstanding the reams of statistics that the Secretary of State mentioned and the learned groups and experts whom he prayed in aid, does he accept that there is a widespread public concern, which my hon. Friend the Member for Surrey Heath (Michael Gove) expressed, about the degree of rigour in education and the level of attainment in difficult subjects such as sciences and languages, which goes right the way up to university level, is often found by employers, and is reflected in university applications? Will the Secretary of State bear that in mind, or does he think that it is completely ill founded?
