Even though we are the same age, I did the same course at the same college as you ( me=child prodigy because I was there first) You needed a minimum of 5 O-levels or two A-levels, which you must have had, because at that time that was the entry requirement for degree courses for which the art foundation course prepared you.


Back on thread... I think it was wrong that a whole generation was consigned to more menial jobs just because they didn't pass an examination aged eleven.
