Call for clarity on exams

The Schools Secretary must come clean over whether he wants to scrap A-levels and GCSEs, a select committee has said.

Ed Balls has said that the Government's new diplomas could eventually replace the traditional exams as "the qualification of choice" for teenagers.

He wants diplomas and A-levels to compete for pupils ahead of a review of qualifications in 2013 but the schools committee called for "clarity" now.
