Slowly, Slowly, Catchee Monkey

Teenagers could take their GCSE exams early and then have a year without examinations before starting "A" levels, under new reforms set out yesterday.

In the biggest shake-up of the qualification since it was introduced, it will make the GCSE structure more modular, where each unit will be assessed as soon as it is completed, and pupils only allowed one chance to retake any module they fail.
