Business leaders in England feel educational standards have not improved since 1997, despite official data showing record exam and test results, a report says. More than half of those surveyed thought education and skills had not improved, the Institute of Directors (IoD), a business lobby, found in a survey of 500 members. The IoD report also claimed record investment had not led to exam results improving any faster than before. The government said record investment had improved standards in schools.
