Pupils to get their GCSE qualifications by app in future

However, pupils will still receive a hard copy, and schools will continue to open as normal on results day to welcome pupils and give advice (pictured: a DfE prototype for the new 'Education Record' app) "On the one hand, I am grateful to be here and to have a job at a California university, as a distinguished professor. I appreciate that. But I was coming from a country which was a white seller colony, and I can't forget that when I'm here. People don't even talk about it here. They talk about it as if it were normal. So we talk about the American Revolution. But is it not Native Americans who were colonized? So I am very fascinated by this normalized abnormality." "In Kenya, even today, we have children and their parents who cannot speak their mother tongues, or the parents know their mother tongues and don't want their children to know their mother tongue. They are very happy when they speak English and even happier when their children don't know their mother tongue. That's why I call it mental colonization." James Bowen, assistant general secretary at school leaders' union NAHT, said: ‘It makes a lot of sense to look into modernising how exam results are handled and be kindergarten teacher any moves to cut bureaucracy and costs are welcome. Education minister Stephen Morgan said: ‘It is high time exam records were brought into the 21st century, and this pilot will allow schools and colleges to focus on what they do best: teaching the next generation rather than being bogged down in bureaucracy.' In one essay from "Decolonizing Language," Ng~ug~i declares that writers must "be the voice of the voiceless. They have to give voice to silence, especially the silence imposed on a people by an oppressive state." During his AP interview, Ng~ug~i discussed his concerns about Kenya, the "empowerment" of knowing your native language, his literary influences and his mixed feelings about the United States. Ng~ug~i's comments on subjects have been condensed for clarity and brevity. And they say it could sit in the new ‘gov.uk wallet' currently being designed by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, which can be used for official digital documents such as drivers' licenses. Ng~ug~i has published a handful of books over the past decade, including the novel "The Perfect Nine" and the prison memoir "Wrestling with the Devil," and was otherwise in the news in 2022 when his son, M~ukoma wa Ng~ug~i, alleged that he had physically abused his first wife, Nyambura, who died in 1996 ("I can say categorically it´s not true," Ng~ug~i wa Thiong'o responds). He added: ‘We believe this will reduce administrative burdens on schools, and in the future could also be utilised by parents of younger children to support transition from primary to secondary school.' Pepe Di'Iasio, General Secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, said: 'The Education Record app represents a positive step forward in making greater use of digital technology in education and will bring benefits to students, schools and colleges.
