Kelly questions 50% pledge

Article Abstract:

The Labour Party's pledge to get 50% of 18 to 30-year-olds involved in higher education by 2010 threatens to obscure the wider aim of the Government to encourage people to continue learning from infancy through to retirement, according to Education Secretary Ruth Kelly. Kelly noted that since taking up her job, she has spent quite a bit of time thinking about how the target was come up with in the first place as well as considering how to communicate Labour's aim to create a lifelong learning culture.

Ucas chief promises detailed A-level data

Article Abstract:

Universities are to be given additional information about the A-level performance of applicants in order to help their admissions staff sort through the growing number of applicants, according to Anthony McClaran, chief executive of the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service. The new information, which could be available from 2006, will give universities a better break-down of the candidates' performance, rather than simply listing the grades they achieved.
