Description
Summary:	Ted Wragg talks to Ken Boston, Chief Executive of the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority, the body that is in charge of the country's overloaded exams system. Ken Boston arrived from Australia three years ago after his predecessor Sir William Stubbs and the Education Secretary Estelle Morris had resigned over the A level debacle. He has certainly had a challenging time since taking up the post. He talks frankly about the difficulties in organising efficient marking and makes it clear that he believes there are too many examinations and qualifications. Wragg questions him on the government's response to Tomlinson and accusations of dumbing down.
