Tables may be turned

This could be 바카라사이트 last year that schools and colleges have to put up with 바카라사이트 "serious flaws" contained in 바카라사이트 schools and colleges league tables published this week by 바카라사이트 Department for Education and Employment.

Alternative rankings proposed by Harvey Goldstein of 바카라사이트 Institute of Education in London are being considered by 바카라사이트 department. Mr Goldstein said that his rankings adjusted 바카라사이트 raw results data to take account of prior achievement. It was 바카라사이트n possible, he said, to measure 바카라사이트 progress achieved by individual students. This would form a real basis for comparing institutions and could transform 바카라사이트 much criticised examinations league tables.

In a paper to be presented in 바카라사이트 New Year, Mr Goldstein says 바카라사이트 current aggregate data obscures important information and 바카라사이트 failure to take account of students' prior achievement results in misleading information.

He says this presents prima facie evidence for 바카라사이트 potential inequity of unadjusted league tables.
