82 percent of US schools may be labeled 'failing'
Education Secretary Arne Duncan says an estimated 82 percent of US schools could be labeled as ``failing'' under the nation's No Child Left Behind Act this year.
Secondary schools are failing around 400,000 children if the latest league tables are to be believed, with under 30 per cent of pupils getting five 'good' GCSEs and more than 50 per cent of schools sending most kids out into the world without decent qualifications.
