The education system has been going downhill for the last 60 years and will only get worse. The people who make the best teachers are not the ones who get the best marks. But these people no longer can get into the profession because they are deemed not good enough. Nursing has a similar problem.
Government beaurocracies that run these systems do not want to need to think so everything has to be according to a schedule drawn up by equally inept staff. This idea looks good on paper but does not work as mentioned by many of the posters. They then pass the buck on to the poor teachers who are expected to teach with no authority and the prospect of being sued for trying to do jobs and solve problems that they are expected to do but have no control over
My experience on interview boards for prospective employees has shown that many interviewees while having great exam results have got absolutely no idea of what they should have learnt.
Look at the number of "maths" students that can't even add two, two digit numbers together without a calculator. When I went to school that was a caning offence.
