GCSE and A level students to receive center assessment grades

Image
  The Government has announced that students in England will receive teacher assessed grades for GCSE and A level results this summer.   Equal had consulted on and implemented a standardization process for exam results this summer, but the system has resulted in too many inconsistent and unfair outcomes for A and AS level students. Over the last few days, it has become clear that the algorithm has revealed a number of anomalies that had not been anticipated by Equal and which severely undermined confidence in the system.   Subsequently, the Government and Ofqual have jointly agreed to revert to centre assessment grades, which are the grades which schools and colleges assessed students were most likely to have achieved, had exams gone ahead. This was deemed to be the fairest approach to avoid some students receiving grades that did not reflect their prior performance.   Students awaiting their GCSE grades on Thursday will receive their centre assessmen...
