The Supreme Court agreed yesterday to hear an appeal of a case involving affirmative action only nine years after it approved limited application of the race-based policy in higher education.
This will involve all qualifications it has approved for the use of pupils in maintained schools, learners, and further and work-based education and training, under the age of 19 in England.
Ellison also noted that a paper option was important because many students in adult education classes lack the skills needed to take a computer-based test and that it will take time to beef up the courses to add that training.
