The number of GCSE results awarded top grades has reached a record high this year (The Independent), after a government U-turn meant teacher-estimated grades could be handed out.
Nearly 26 per cent of entries received one of the three highest marks this year, figures from exams regulator Ofqual show.
This is a rise from around 20 per cent last year.
GCSE students have been given the higher of either a teachers’ estimated grade or a moderated grade, after their exams were cancelled due to coronavirus.
