Scrap SATS

The Guardian held a poll with the question, "Should SATS be scrapped?" and the final result was

Yes 92.4%
No 7.6%

Writing on the Education forum discussion board John Simkin said:

"When testing and league tables were introduced by the Tories, Labour opposed them. Once in power, Labour have extended their use. It is clear from the interviews with ministers that they have no understanding of what education is all about. Education ministers in Wales and Scotland were quick to remove SATs once they got independence from London."
