Chalkface has been following the developing story over the problems with the A-level results that are unfolding in the UK. This article from the BBC reports that universities in the UK are being asked to keep places open until the appeals process has been completed to help ensure that students are not unfairly disadvantaged.
Amid uncertainty about replacement exam grades, Universities Minister Michelle Donelan has urged university heads to be as "flexible as possible". It means if students miss the required grades but successfully appeal, they could still start next term.
With A-levels cancelled because of the coronavirus pandemic, students will receive estimated results to decide university places. But if students get disappointing results that they think are unfair, universities are being told to leave the door open for places until appeals have been considered by exam boards.
It should be noted that this article is specifically referring to the GCE A-level and not the International A-level.
