GCSE and A-level students in England will be allowed to use mock exam grades to apply for jobs and university, the government is set to announce.
Unions called on the British government to follow suit, with Labour warning that Boris Johnson risked ‘robbing a generation of young people of their future’.English students will now have the option to choose between moderated results and grades achieved in mocks that were held before schools were forced to close amid the pandemic.
Protesters in George Square in Glasgow protested against the Scottish Qualifications Authority’s method of producing exam results this year GCSE and A-level students will still be allowed to sit exams in autumn if they are unhappy with the grades secured in mock exams, or if they are dissatisfied with those awarded this week.
Education Secretary Gavin Williamson is expected to make the announcement ahead of results being awarded on Thursday

Students want exam results upgraded across UKNational Union of Students says Scotland's exam changes must be applied to A-levels for fairness. Make them re do the year they are in. That should cheer them up. Of course this was going to be an unfair outcome. No wonder students were disappointed not to be able to sit the exams.
