3. What the Government said School reform minister Nick Gibb February 2015 Levels since 1988 Levels have been a distracting, over-generalised label, giving misleading signals about the genuine attainment of pupils. they have clogged up the education system with undependable data on pupil attainment. Life without levels 2014 In short, levels were just too vague and imprecise. They were misleading as to what pupils knew and could do. Pupils moved on without really understanding the concept.
