Michael Gove: Exam system split inevitable due to standards

The Education Secretary in England Michael Gove has been responding to concerns that GCSE and A-Level reforms would devalue the exams in NI.

On Tuesday Mr Gove said it was time for England, Wales and Northern Ireland to go their separate ways on GCSEs and A-levels.

He said the differences were becoming so great, there must be a split.
