Abstract

The author reflects on the GCSE (General Certificate of Secondary Education) examination results in Great Britain. He explains that results have been improving and refutes allegations that the increase is a result of easier papers. He also discusses the use of league tables in the education system, suggesting that they can promote teaching only for the result of a high grade.
