Following the recent scathing attack on the GCSE exam system by the private education sector – referring to exams as “mindless” and schools as “exam factories” – Harrow School, a leading UK private school, has developed its own qualification to counter the narrowness of current programmes.
Every year, thousands of students travel from India to study in the UK, often pursing courses at private colleges. It was reported today that many are simply unable to take care of themselves; unable to find part-time work, hundreds of students are now eating handouts from gurdwaras – Sikh temples – in Southall, West London.
