Re: Comment from the Cockwomble in question
"This year, only 4,000 people out of 300,000 took computing at A-level - less than 2%."
So only 2% of the school population wasted their time on that particular non-academic subject. I would recommend that the best A levels for Computer science or any other branch of engineering or physics, is 2 maths and one physics. Michael Gove should ensure that schools are able to teach those properly and leave it at that.
