If you're going to raise marks for some types of schools then it follows that others have to fall to maintain to required overall distribution - that is obviously what they've done.
NO - THEY (whoever "they" are supposed to be), have not. A crap algorithm has.
If you are having a dig at public schools and the fact that there grades have not changed, or increased - do some reading before throwing mud. Perfectly respectable educationalists have put forward entirely reasonable arguments for why.
