Ofqual to provide a revised approach to A-Levels completed by Year 12's in 2021
As we move into an unprecedented era for education, I am calling on the Government to ensure that Year 12 students will not be disadvantaged from the A-Level exams they are due to take in 2021. Measures must be put in place due to the education that these students have and will continue to miss.
Year 12s have been off school since March and there is no clear indication that these pupils will return to school prior to Sept. The Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation, these students are not receiving the teaching they need to complete these exams and THIS must be taken into consideration ahead of their exams next academic year. The standard of teaching is not the same and these students must not be disadvantaged so, revisions to next years exams is absolutely necessary.
