UK's Ofsted unveils new five-point school grading scale, facing criticism for being rushed and confusing.

The UK's Ofsted is introducing a new color-coded five-point scale to grade schools, ranging from "causing concern" (red) to "exemplary" (green). This replaces the current four-level system and aims to provide more detailed feedback on schools' performance. However, teaching unions argue the new system may worsen the recruitment crisis and create confusion, failing to provide better information for parents or school leaders. Critics say the changes, made following the death of headteacher Ruth Perry, are rushed and will fail to improve the inspection system.
