'Worthless qualifications' give false hope to state pupils, says Harrow head | Education | guardian.co.uk

'Worthless qualifications' give false hope to state pupils, says Harrow head | Education | guardian.co.uk: "Pupils from deprived backgrounds are being conned into thinking they can advance in life by a system that hands out 'worthless' qualifications, Harrow school's headteacher said today.

State schools risk producing students like 'those girls in the first round of the X Factor' who tell the judges they want to be the next Britney Spears but cannot sing a note, Barnaby Lenon said."

Rather harsh but probably true!
