So what is this thing about schooling in Scotland and Wales going down the drain, but in England not?

What are the policy/system differences we're talking about here?

And why have they caused such a difference in results?

TLDR, education is devolved. The Conservatives gave schools in England more freedom to adopt more rigorous syllabi, Labour (Wales) and SNP (Scotland) made them switch to fluffy “skills-based” programmes where kids don’t actually learn stuff.

@Flick @Gnomeshatecheese Public education was never intended to educate our children. It's indoctrination and just enough skills acquisition to make sure the proles and petite bourgeois can keep the wheels of the economy running.

I'm deeply, deeply angry about this.
