NEW secondary school league tables panicked parents and sent teachers into fury yesterday after busybody ministers moved the goalposts once again.

Annual rankings showed that the number of schools considered under-performers had doubled in the past year, following the Department for Education’s decision that resits could not be included in the figures.

Con-Dem ministers have also stripped vocational subjects out of the equation in a push to make students study “traditional” academic subjects regardless of their strengths and preferences.
