        @BBCBreaking since no one can afford university fees it's probably an incentive for them to not care about grades anymore..from the getgo

        @BBCBreaking surely 0.4% ina data set of this size is not significant as could be result of rounding error etc

        @BBCBreaking It shouldn't really be described as a 0.4% fall, even though it's 69.8% to 69.4%.. eg a change from 0.8% to 0.4% is a 50% fall
