New research findings by Professor Harvey Goldstein and George Leckie, based in the Centre for Multilevel Modelling, were broadcast on this Monday's edition of BBC Radio 4's Learning Curve. Harvey Goldstein spoke to presenter Libby Purves about how recent research, taking the GCSE marks of students in England and comparing the 'value added' scores with simple GCSE averages, has concluded league tables were not fit for that purpose. Harvey highlighted it was time that their publication should cease.
