Doesn't that mean mandatory ground school in the PPL?
Yes, 100 hours of it (although some may be 'distance learning').
How was the calculation of 100 hours of groundschool reached at the PPL level ?
Even if a FTO had to approve an exam sitting for a PPL student, couldnt they just authorise this based on the fact the student said he had read the book / done the confuser / other test preps and said they are ready? 100 hours at e.g. £25 p/hour instructor rate would add £2500 onto the cost of a PPL.
From the snippets of information in this discussion, I couldnt see how any hours of ground school were required.
