Rejected petition Change the way that GCSE and A-Level results in England have been standardised
Reverse the decision to use a standardised system based on geographical bias to finalise exam results for the class of 2020. Teachers’ assessments have been undermined considering they are the best placed to make decisions on these young people’s’ futures.
More details
As a teacher myself I find it offensive; but more importantly it is grossly unfair on a huge majority of the hard working young adults across the country.
