The education secretary Michael Gove is speaking at the Independent Academies Association conference today and is expected to call for a tough exam system in England. He is expected to argue that easy exams are worse than no exams at all and children who work hard and push themselves to succeed will be happier, have more self-belief and be motivated to endeavour further and enjoy deeper learning.
