25 % of people leave school in UK without a single GCSE...

Where do you get your figure from?

Overall, the findings are that 11.3% of British adults do not have any qualifications. In England, the figure is 11.1%, in Wales it is 13.3% and in Scotland 12.3%.

I thought the situation was improving.

NI figures:

However, some 132 pupils left last year with no GCSEs, and nearly half of these without any formal qualifications at all.

The figures are contained in the latest annual statistical bulletin on the qualifications and destinations of Northern Ireland's 21,983 school leavers in the 2016/17 academic year, which was issued yesterday by the Department of Education.

That is 0.6% in NI.

Are newspapers reporting events and feelings, or are they manipulating readers to believe and act in ways that support the owners and editor ulterior motives? An interesting talk on how newspapers operate - mostly, how they totally lie!

No great revelation there, did your dad never tell you "don't believe everything you read in the newspapers son", what I find disturbing is that even though we have access to education for all, people still need reminding that a lot of what they read and see on the MSM isn't true.

John D has used the Daily Mail as a source on occasions,
so the above must be fake news as John D never posts incorrect information.
