Pass your A levels or get £5000

So if you blow your A levels the college will pay you five grand? Am I the only person here who wonders if there are going to be students who are there just for the payout when they 'accidentally' fail them.  rubschin:

I'm sure the college will have a get out clause.

The cash promise will depend on pupils attending lessons and keeping up with coursework.

True but I can still see some people being stupid enough to think they can play the system.
