'Burgers degree' slated
Britain's teachers unions have condemned Gordon Brown's plan to allow McDonald's, the hamburger chain, to take part in A-level-style qualifications as a "farce". The decision to allow McDonald's, the airline FlyBe and Network Rail to issue management training certificates up to the equivalent of A-level or degree level was seen by some critics as dumbing down qualifications.

Unbelievable – what the hell is there to ‘learn’ about flipping burgers and maximizing unhealthy ingredients to turn a profit? Brown is a farce and the British education system is a farce, this is a base attempt to make McDonald’s less of an employment pariah, simple as that, there is as much educational value in McDonald’s as there is nutrition in their food.
