The company responsible for failing to deliver millions of school exam results on time this summer has been sacked.
Teachers leaders said that the decision, which comes after a summer of delays in test results, was inevitable and called on the Government to scrap national tests for next year in an overhaul of the entire system.
ETS Europe had a five-year £156 million contract to carry out marking of the national tests for 11 to 14-year-olds, but today it was dissolved.
