Cancel IGCSE and IAL exams 2021 and replace by coursework and teacher assessment
Cancel all standardise testing for year 12 and year 13 students in 2021. By replacing tests with smaller amounts of course work and teacher assessment, students would have a fair chance at achieving their target grades and it would relieve stress for teachers and students.
Not all students had equal learning opportunities over lockdown. Course work and teacher assessment ensures that all students are given an equal chance to get their rightful grades.
Due to the corona virus spreading quickly. Many international students globally find it difficult to study, since they didn’t finish the syllabus yet.
Online classes are also not effective compared to traditional teaching. Lots of other countries have schools closed during the examination periods.
