			I don't necessarily think GCSEs should be scrapped - while it's now compulsory to be in some kind of education until 18, this includes vocational apprenticeships. A "progress check" is all well and good for those going onto their school's sixth form, but those who wish to do apprenticeships need something to show they have met the grades.
