Maths tests. Do they know what they are doing?
The government has changed the whole basis of the new tests which have been piloted this year after ‘unusual’ results were found. The newspapers seem to think that this means they have become easier as they move from “working securely within” a level to “reaching a level, or threshold”.
Confusing? Probably. But I am guessing that it all stems from the children being test piloted did not reach the levels expected, hence the ‘unusual’ results!
