'Another fine mess': what the papers say about the A-level U-turn

Climbdowns, U-turns and calls for Gavin Williamson to resign resounded across Tuesday’s front pages following the education secretary’s apology for the exams algorithm fiasco that has marred the prospects of hundreds of thousands of pupils and unleashed a wave of anger in the direction of the government.

Where are the comments about the U turn in Wales under Labour?

Would it not have been simpler to go on teacher predictions and adjust grades according to what % teachers were ‘out’ on last years results to mitigate any inflation? Much simpler that this complicated algorithm.....
