'A' LEVEL examination results are now out. From a league table of schools, once again the top 50 schools are virtually all grammar schools.
What is Labour policy towards grammar schools? Abolish them. Yet more evidence of Labour downgrading. Despite all their words on the importance of education it still takes second place to their obsession with elitism.
However, Labour is at least taking one step in the right direction - back to single sex schools. This will initially, no doubt, highlight even more the better performance of girls over boys but perhaps in a few generations we might return to the state of each sex having respect for the other.
