Announcement:
We have got many submissions till now. Thank you wholeheartedly to all those who participated. :)
There's a small request though. We need an article about technology, the new updated versions, innovations, etc. It isn't necessary to write an article, transcripts from sites would do, provided due credit is given to them. We'd be highly grateful if it came from a member here, especially from those who do not yet have their imprints in the Magazine.
Hoping for a positive response. :)

Two more days left to go. Please make due haste.
Your contribution is much appreciated. :)

Scandal in British exam boards
The British exam boards are mired in scandal. AQA, Edexcel and WJEC have been caught in the headlights giving exam papers away to teachers in 'training days' for a £120 fee. It means effectively that many students will be disadvantaged if their teachers have not paid to go to one of these training days. This means that many state school students will get relatively worse results than private school students whose teachers attended the training day.
This may seem awful, but their is worse. The exam officer for edexcel was recorded by a reporter:
Ms Warren, the chief examiner for Edexcel GCSE Geography, said that teachers should pick her company’s exam because “you don’t have to teach a lot”.
Ms Warren also expressed her disbelief that the geography exam had been cleared by the official regulator.
She said: “There’s so little [in the exam] we don’t know how we got it through [the exam regulator]”. She claimed it was “a lot smaller [than other boards] and that’s why a lot of people came to us.”
In the next few days, there might be many sacking. Possible the entire January exam sitting will have to be abandoned and the June exams re-written.
CIE/OCR are not recorded as being involved, but this scandal will run and run.
I LOVE IT!

Well, that is some news!

Big news as far as I am concerned.
I emailed edexcel to taunt them
