I read yesterday that the Assessment and Qualifications Alliance (AQA) exam board had been handing out some new “qualifications” to teenagers.
These certificates included one for making a cup of tea, one for catching a bus and one for washing your hands.
I don’t think I need to say much more about it, other than I cannot believe taxpayers’ money is being allocated to such patronising and pointless gimmicks. How can any of these everyday tasks warrant a qualification? What I want to know is where’s the one for bunking off school, or riding the local bike round the back of the bike sheds?
When will this madness end?
