Posts Tagged: A Levels

The DfE has thrown everything but the kitchen sink at school reopenings. But the perennial problem is communication.

Up against the noisy unions, it’s struggled to convey the safety of schools compared to other environments.

By Charlotte Gill | 25 February 2021

Anne Milton: The Government must protect pupil choice when reforming qualifications

T Levels are a much-needed addition, but they should not be the only option for the 16-year-old not wishing to take A levels. Save the BTEC.

Alison Cork: Entrepreneurs can lead Britain’s recovery if we help them

Phil Taylor: When 88 per cent of students got their first choice university place on results day, was a U-turn really necessary?

Ofqual came up with a technical solution to a complex problem, and yet it was not able to convince the rest of the education sector to back its judgement.

By Phil Taylor | 18 August 2020 | 54 comments

Nick Gibb: Fair grades for A Levels and GCSEs, and congratulations to the students

We have worked with Ofqual to put in place the best possible system.

By Nick Gibb MP | 13 August 2020 | 52 comments
