Is there a joke here or is this just an illustration of kids taking a test? Is it that the desks are too big and they're sitting on cushions because they're small? That's...weak.

I didn't get what was going on with his Ken Livingston cartoon either so I might be developing Bell-blindness.

It's not so much a joke as a horrible truth: very young children are being made to take the same kind of dull, rote, mechanistic, stressful (they now get categorised as a binary Success/Failure at an early age) Victorian-style tests as much older children - hence their needing boxes to sit on to reach the big desks. It's possibly also a reference to The Wall. A Grim Cartoon.
