Education seems to always pop up in the news. This year it has been criticised that GCSE exams have been marked to generously.

The 200 weakest primary schools will be turned into academies and placed under new management, next year.

In Nuts opinion they see academies as a threat to teachers and their working conditions. As well as damaging neighbouring schools, academies have shown no evidence that they provide a better education than any other school. Blur 2 with the caption What is your opinion on your school/ college? Could you suggest any changes? Vox 3 (Neil) Vox 5 (Matt) Vox 6 (Nav) Jake: Exams will be returning to a tougher O-level style qualification in place of GCSEs. Plans include getting rid of modular assessment, reintroducing the traditional three-hour exam at the end of two

years of study and limiting the number of top grades that are awarded. (Over the top of filming of an establishing shot) New books will have to be supplied to schools replacing hand-me-down books that have been used for many generations in some schools. (Underlined section will be over the filming of books) Jake: Tuition fees of up to 9,000 are putting some students off from going to university as students taking places have fallen by nearly 57,000 or 12% compared to last year. (Over the top of an establishing shot) Notes: Order is open to change within actual documentary. Blurs with their appropriate captions have been removed in actual documentary for a more realistic effect.
