Leading article: Teacher will know
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Ruth Kelly, the Education Secretary, is right to order a subject-by-subject review of the amount of coursework to be used in GCSE. However, it remains to be seen whether the special adviser appointed by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority to help schools and exam boards detect plagiarism in coursework will be successful in her task. We think that teachers are best placed to spot cheating because they can compare the coursework submitted with pupils' classroom work.
