Sir Nick Gibb says this year’s GCSE results prove that the education reforms introduced under Michael Gove are working. He points to stronger mathematical performance and the exceptional results achieved by knowledge-rich free schools. But with around one in three young people failing to achieve a grade 4 in both English and maths, post-16 resit success remaining extremely low and stark regional and socioeconomic divides persisting, critics see evidence of a system failing too many children. Have more rigorous GCSEs genuinely raised educational standards or created an unforgiving system that repeatedly labels a substantial minority of young people as failures? The Points of View panel debate whether the Gove-era exam reforms have succeeded, failed or done both at once.
