I am all for encouraging further education.
My problem with this though is that if someone is doing their very best and cannot get the A-C required in English and Maths it will be a complete waste of time and do nothing for their confidence.

Half the battle with low grades is kids bunking off or totally disinterested, good luck to the poor teachers.
