A-levels and GCSEs: U-turn as teacher estimates to be used for exam results [View all]

A-level and GCSE students in England will be given grades estimated by their teachers, rather than by an algorithm, after a government U-turn.

It follows uproar after about 40% of A-level results were downgraded by exams regulator Ofqual, which used a formula based on schools' prior grades...


Ofqual chair Roger Taylor and Education Secretary Gavin Williamson apologised for the "distress" caused.

Teachers' estimates will be awarded to students unless the computer algorithm gave a higher grade.

What a mess it's all been. Anything run by Boris AND Gavin Williamson is bound to be a mess.

2020, as well as all the other things it is, is also the year when all those exam nightmares, that students have, actually came true!
