    Are GCSE's important

    Agree, most learning is done at primary school. However I think (and in my case) GCSE's, A Levels etc are important, not in respect of subject or grade as such more as a life skill and personal development.

    So is this 70% the VAST MAJORITY they've been so proudly talking about then? I presume LT was not so quick to tell the committee that they've only paid 50% of the money though!
