the best idea to hit education since the cane!
|
The idea of offering financial incentives on a national scale for school examination achievement ("performance related pay for pupils") was formulated by Examboost in 2000. This was the first time in the history of education such a scheme had been offered. Students from over 10% of UK schools registered with Examboost in its first year and the idea received considerable media coverage. Students achieving 3 A grades at A level received shares in the internet company Totalise plc valued at £70 and the average points score of those students as a group placed them above Eton College in the Times A'level league table. |
