Blood boiling. Not a good look for OpenAI or Greg Brockman here:
"ah nice" in response to "a hack to get around nytimes paywall" in his efforts "to scrape" The Times website. After many points on his bragging about OpenAI's substitution for news. /4

But how much time do you give to prove impact of educational reform? Because in the meantime, based on PISA results, which the WG place great importance on, we've had two decades of learners in Wales who appear to be underachieving when compared to their peers in other UK countries.

According to this Senedd webpage, the WG places considerable importance on PISA results. If so then why have our results been very much in decline for two decades?

PISA 2012 results - Huw Lewis (edu minister) said the results were disappointing and showed Wales had a long way to go. (BBC) "The Pisa results are stark and the message is very clear, we must improve educational attainment and standards right across the board."

Kirsty Williams, suggested that she did not expect an improvement between the 2012 and 2015 results. She said that there was a need to be realistic about how quickly the education reforms can embed within a system

In 2017 the WG roll back on their 2013 aim to be in the PISA top 20 and the minister drops the aim of a score of 500 in each PISA domain by 2021.
