UK: Pupils could sit tests at home as evidence for GCSE and A-level grades, after official exams scrapped

By ITS Education Asia

Pupils in England could be allowed to sit exams at home which would form evidence for GCSE, AS- and A-level grades this year, according to proposals on how to replace cancelled official exams. 

The Department for Education (DfE) and Ofqual, England’s exam regulator, have suggested marks should be based on teacher assessment of “the standard at which the student is performing”.

Under the proposals, exam boards should make a set of papers available that teachers can use as part of their judgements.

Hong Kong students can still sit the International GCSE and A-levels this summer.
