Exam chiefs fail our children

Exam bodies like the Welsh Joint Education Committee (WJEC) should be hanging their heads in shame.
They refused, despite pleas from teachers, to postpone key exams for pupils because of the terrible winter weather.
The result was that some, already stressed youngsters, will probably have to wait until the summer to take exams which are likely to be key to their futures. This will add further pressure on them.
What was wrong about postponing exams for a week or two? Clearly, the intransigence of the WJEC has done pupils a great disservice.
We must learn from this lesson - and perhaps the Welsh Education Minister should be prepared to intervene in the future and knock a few heads together
