Education: pupils will lose marks for poor grammar and spelling
Pupils will be penalised in exams for poor spelling, punctuation and grammar under a sweeping overhaul
of the education system.
Teenagers will lose up to five per cent of marks in GCSE examinations if they fail to display high standards of written English.
The rules, which are likely to apply to all subjects, including mathematics and science, follow claims that thousands of children leave school without being able to compose a sentence, spell difficult words or write a coherent letter or email.
The move, to be outlined in an education White Paper next week, would reverse a Labour decision seven years ago to scrap rewards for good literacy

I've known a nice looking girl who got kicked out from good school because she did not master English language well enough... it was back in late 80s in USSR!
