Labour backs post-qualification admissions system for England

whilst this report mentions that only 16% of predictions were accurate it fails to also mention that the original study found that "the vast majority (75 per cent) of applicants’ grades were over-predicted”. I suspect this is a reflection of the pressure being put on teachers by School 'Managers' to overstate the added value the school brings to nudge them a little further up the league tables. Perhaps if good, experienced teachers were allowed to express honest options the predictions would be come more accurate?
