Public Examination System

The government of the day controls education in Britain ( as it does in Sweden). either directly through Acts of Parliament or indirectly through the orchestration of public opinion. As Britain is a liberal democracy the government also responds to - or at least takes note of - the will of the people expressed mainly in the mass media.
