Universities facing scramble after exams U-turn

On Monday, Education Secretary Gavin Williamson and Ofqual chair Roger Taylor both apologised for the"distress" caused.

The government's U-turn means teachers' assessments will also be used for GCSE results, due to be published on Thursday. Mr Jarvis said the change would mean there were more students with the grades to match the offer of their first-choice university. Questions are not just being asked of the government though - some MPs think Ofqual could have done more to avoid this crisis. Mr Williamson himself has said he asked repeatedly for reassurances and was told the system was fair.

Universities should be pulled down, I mean look at them. That's what happens when you send your kids to uni.

Nooooooooooo! Go on a gap year then. You’ll more than likely pack in after a year anyway.

Let it go Louise. You sound like a broken record. And like anything broken, only fit for the scrap heap! I decided earlier that I didn't sit GCSE History, Media Studies, Spanish, Italian and Russian. I got 4 A's and a 'Da' in Russian!

Just be grateful your still here as many are not.

Gavin Williamson, Education Secretary now calling you ‘children’ live on air, you are of course young adults..he doesn’t even know the people he is supposed to represent! Incredible!

The Nasty Party will not lose its well deserved moniker until it decides to rise above the divisive brand of politics it has chosen to adopt, and letting go of its chief architect Dominic Cummings.

Gavin Williamson admits he is a career politician puppet. Cummings the puppet master. Remove Rasputin.

Just prepare for the next round of moaners that they would have done better than there predicted results as already seen on BBC breakfast news 🤷‍♂️

Will grade inflation at public schools created by the algorithm now also be reversed so wrongly allocated places for Russell group universities can be reopened to more deserving students? How many Etonians would lose their A* and A grades?

Welcome though the U turn is, the govt have just pushed the problem onto the universities who will now be expected to do a lot of unpicking. Williamson and Johnson have cr***ed on someone else’s doorstep leaving them to clean up the mess.

boris has done what he wanted, that is give all the best courses and university places to the well off from private schools, time to abolish them.

Why don’t they sit the exams Instead of getting the grades for nothing

Not the a good news day for the clownin charge of educationgovuk. After this fiasco how can parents trust GavinWilliamson to keep their children safe in schools when they re-open? AlevelUTurn schoolsreopening

Where are they’re masks?

those who lose out must remember & vote accordingly when voting at local and national elections

..if you put your mind to it , it's easy as John Lennon said...

..I'll sit back and relax.....too old....lol....

..luckily i knew how to make a living early on....no fuck arseing around..get out there, reach out , do it...
