A clear case of grade inflation

11th September 1998, 1:00am
In the days of O-levels, the grades available were A, B, C, D, E, F, G, U. However, grades available in the GCSE examination are AH, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, U.

Is this not clear evidence of grade inflation in which AH replaces A and making, for example, the O-level C grade the equivalent to a GCSE B grade.
