Deputy Roy Le Hérissier, a former lecturer who chairs the Education and Home Affairs Scrutiny Panel, says that in the wake of the publication of the breakdown of exam results, Jersey as a whole needs to be open about the issues facing schools.
He said: ‘If there are problems within the education system, let’s discuss them. But how on earth can parents make intelligent judgments about schools if they are not told the results?
‘I have got no problem if they are told the results within the context of the schools but the alternative is that the rumour machine starts working and parents make judgments based on that.’
