Schools that DOWNGRADED CAGs in #exams2020 are already at a disadvantage. Their grades will be constrained again, so A* student gets B & looses uni place. School up the road that over inflated 2020 grades is free to over inflated again & B student gets the A. @annita_mcveigh

David Laws @EduPolicyInst calls for anchoring of grades to historical data from 2018,2019, 2020 or risk massive over inflated grades in #exams2021. If your HOC’s thinks other schools will over inflated grades like #exams2020 then they will also to avoid disadvantaging students!!!

According to Ofqual, exams are "reliable to one grade either way", so the claim that exams "are one of the fairest ways to award grades" is odd, especially in a piece about false positives and negatives: hepi.ac.uk/2020/06/01/no-tes……

Great to see @Tes news reporters out on the TV and radio in the last couple of days. This morning @CathImogenLough was helping @BBCRadioLondon out with a brilliantly clear explanation of the convoluted mess that this year’s GCSEs and A levels have become

#Exams2021
I emailed my MP about the unfairness to home educated teens: abandoned 2 years in a row, not allowed to sit exams they need to access further & higher ed. His last reply: he's 'loath to press the point' when 'Ministers are so stretched'.
@BBC_HaveYourSay any interest?

Read the analysis, hyper grade inflation is now inevitable in #exams2021. Schools that played by rules in #exams2020, FITTED grades to historical data, DOWNGRADED & DISADVANTAGED students. Those that gamed the system, INFLATED grades & won. So every school should cheat in 2021.

Cancellation of exams for 2cnd year shows shows damaging impact of school closures. Whilst centre assessed grades are perhaps least worst option, @educationgovuk need to ensure they do not bake a rock cake of exam grade inflation. Qualifications need to be valued by employers.

Agreed - teacher assessments didn’t work in 2020... why take the same route again? Take it from a teacher - teacher assessments don't work telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/02…

What about the class of 2020? Students left with CAG grades NOT reflecting their ability, NO APPEALS process, mental health in tatters #Exams2020 @jessphillips @buckleybun1234 @GavinWilliamson

Exams and assessment should have been planned last Summer. Plan A..B..C... with checkpoints for one to be used.Only about 100 days to get everything done within this academic year.....I really fear real pressure being exerted on all , within the system. Could we need a year 14?

After #exams2020 fiasco and the ongoing denial of justice for those DOWNGRADED, you’d have thought plan A,B,C would have been ‘OVEN READY’. With @GavinWilliamson there will be more injustice like this for #exams2021 students I fear. theguardian.com/education/20…

You may be interested in this #exams2020 story. Not very FAIR or JUST. #exams2021 @ofqual @GavinWilliamson @CommonsEd theguardian.com/education/20…

Maybe the #exams2020 DOWNGRADED & EXTERNAL CANDIDATES have the biggest reason to want @GavinWilliamson gone. theguardian.com/education/20… #exams2021

So 1 in 4 exam grades are wrong every year, & @ofqual accepts exam grades are only ever reliable one grade each way. Then how can exams be the FAIREST way @NickGibbUK?Time to go back to the drawing board & deliver FAIR & RELIABLE grades as defined by students. @halfon4harlowMP
In parliament today, Nick Gibb yet again claimed that "exams are the fairest way". No, Minister. @NickGibbUK @CommonsEd @KateGreenSU @IanMearnsMP @wesstreeting @halfon4harlowMP @HEPI_news @HMC_Org @ASCL_UK @SFCA_info @NEUnion @NAHTnews @LSESocialPolicy
