87.1% Yes

When testing and league tables were introduced by the Tories, Labour opposed them. Once in power, Labour have extended their use. It is clear from the interviews with ministers that they have no understanding of what education is all about. Education ministers in Wales and Scotland were quick to remove SATs once they got independence from London.

I will quote your remark in the WSTA blog if that is OK with you.

Also the final result of the poll 92.4% Yes.
