Gavin Williamson and Boris Johnson’s chaotic approach to exams is almost like watching a Laurel and Hardy sketch
Honestly, it seems that Laurel and Hardy are alive and well. Stan Laurel has been reborn in the body of Gavin Williamson, while Oliver Hardy is (of course) Boris Johnson.Given the almost universal agreement by government ministers (including Laurel and Hardy), education experts, students and their parents that there is no foolproof way to assess student attainment other than by sitting exams, it seems strange that no one in authority actually realised that the best way forward was to bring all G
