Ofqual chief: We really want to get to the root of this

The head of exams regulator Ofqual, Glenys Stacey, told the Commons Education Committee that they would be happy to take part in an inquiry, internal or otherwise, into the GCSE English results. She said:

We have reacted very promptly by concerns addressed to us by schools and colleges, and I know that they recognise that, we have been very open with them about the data information that we are collecting and the conclusions that we are reaching.

Of course we will not object if there is any other sort of inquiry, not at all.
