Thank goodness, at last......an announcement has been made regarding how these Year 11 and Year 13 youngsters will get their Grades this year.
Been so unfair and difficult for these pupils. Always difficult in these final months before these exams, etc. This year those poor youngsters have not had any idea as to how they were to get their grades. So, in the even more than usual difficult circumstances of disruption and home and long-distance learning, they have had to be getting ready for normal exams, blended (exams and course work), course work only, mini-exams at the school. etc. etc. Nobody even knew if any sort of sort of mini-exam would cover all of the syllabus, (most schools have not been able to cover all of this).
Last years exam fiasco showed how badly the government could get this wrong - and caused a week of sheer terror and despair for many youngsters.
At least now, individual schools can decide how they will best sort out the Grades for their pupils.
Be good if an announcement on 2022 gradings could be made now so that those in Years 10 & 12 did not have to go through this.
