Clearly pretty hard for all those involved - including those trying to get an element of ‘fairness’.
All solutions are fraught with pros and cons as, indeed, is a traditional ‘exam’ situation.
Some observations:
* Yet again we have a split in approach between England and Scotland which just can’t be right.
* I heard Gavin Williamson correct himself on TV this morning. He started to say something like ‘we have consulted widely....’ before saying
’Ofcom have consulted widely and we are taking their guidance’. Seems to be a theme emerging with our government where they are keen to take no accountability.
* The positive spin is that 97% of students will get a grade either in line with or A difference of 1 v expected. Not great if they are 1 grade below and they miss their Uni spot.
