It does indeed. In our report that we wrote we are clear that it is "as little as 14% of the marks". Either way, it is genuinely problematic to say that a standard pass is possible even if the range is between 14% and say 20%. It doesn't show a broad range of competency across fundamental maths.

Good morning. Our report says that England’s system is in the best position yet. We’re not suggesting that the Grade 4 standard is too easy but that it’s currently possible to reach it with too few questions which is an exam design issue. We don’t suggest anywhere that all teachers should use AI.

Luke, this looks fascinating! Was this prompted by the book The Unaccountability Machine? If not, it’s a very thought provoking read.

And it obscures the real scandal - which is the totally inadequate child services support for kids post exclusion, the disaster of CAMHS, and the shocking lack of AP places (and in many places AP quality). Schools have a right to exclude - but excluded kids still have a right to an education.
