  1. No is the short answer.

  2.  @jodypritchard5425  Did Michael Gove not put a stop to that New Labour trend?

  4.  @NTVT1999  The percentage scores are irrelevant. If the exams are sufficiently dumbed down every candidate will score 100% and A*s awarded across the board.

  5. An Oxford education will be dumbed down to suit.

  9. An A grade in 1995 is the equivalent of a C grade in 1980.

  10.  @jodypritchard5425  The majority of teachers and headmasters are products of the dumbed down education system which Thatcher kickstarted in the late 1980s.

  11.  @jodypritchard5425  As I understand it, Michael Gove attempted to reintroduce a little bit of rigour into GCSEs and “A-levels” by ending modularisation and multiple resits although the questions and exam format remained a lot easier than they were in the late 70s/early 80s. After his intervention the grade boundary for a grade A in A-level maths came down to 45% because the exam was more testing but prior to his reforms when old O-level questions were used in “A-levels” the grade boundary was presumably much higher. The percentage scores are therefore irrelevant.

  20.  @BisAndTrisBrah  The 26% claim is economically illiterate. NHS doctors are among the highest paid in Europe but provide one of the worst services in Europe. British taxpayers are getting poor value for money. The handful of countries who pay doctors more are only interested in highly educated, properly trained, competent doctors which excludes the vast majority of British medics.

  34.  @siddharthreddiar3353  NHS doctors are among the highest paid in Europe but provide one of the worst services in Europe; therefore by definition British taxpayers are getting poor value for money.

  43.  @dragonofhatefulretribution9041  but ISTR 20 years ago that A-levels had never been easier as New Labour had split the exam into easily digestible, bite sized modules which could be resat multiple times to improve grades without penalty as Blair pulled out all the stops in his misguided attempt to enable 50% of all young people to go to “university”. Therefore I am dubious that 90% of current 18 year olds would have failed them.

  54.  @TheMindOf_Reason  In the early 2000s under New Labour old O-level questions routinely appeared on contemporary “A-level” papers. Today’s students would struggle to pass any A-level from the early 80s or before, let alone get grade As.
