LETTER : Today's A-levels fail to make the gradeToday's A-levels fail to make the grade

From Mr G. N. G. Tingey

Sir: I have four A levels (double maths, physics and chemistry) plus HNC Electronics, BSc Physics and an MSc in Engineering. I cannot get one job interview, in spite of the above qualifications and my considerable experience.

I admit the learning process, and qualifications, are intrinsically worthwhile but, for practical purposes, they are a mere nullity.

Yours faithfully,

G. N. G. Tingey
