Follow the Welsh Governments system regarding 2021 exams.
This week, the Welsh Government announced that 2021 exams would be cancelled, alongside Scotlands. The UK Government should follow the Welsh Government in awarding grades based on teacher-managed assessments, made by the relevant exam boards,
Following these announcements, the UK Government should announce the same for England, to allow the system to remain fair, and not to disadvantage students in English Schools. As for those taking A-Levels, they now face far more of a struggle when applying to university when compared to their Welsh and Scottish counterparts.
