Compulsory Maths to 18?
The school leaving age is going up (even though the voting age is coming down, work that out), so they are going to be able to make Sixth Formers do anything.
It won't stop here.
Watch out for compulsory PE to 18.
Not as a qualification, just the forced hour per week that we all had to carry on doing until the end of the fifth year.
The Maths thing will be dropped a few years after that, the real job having been done.
Leading to huge rates of absence among the more academic people, especially boys. Damaging their progress and giving a free pass to the hooligans. It could be called Fleming's Law.
