A-Level results row: What happens to students without any grades? - BBC Newsnight
After the government U-turned on how A-levels were graded, thousands of students are trying to secure their university places now they can use their predicted grades. But what if you didn’t get a teacher-assessed grade in the first place? Subscribe to our channel here: https://goo.gl/31Q53F
Earlier this week, the government U-turned on A-Level results, abandoning the use of an algorithm to award grades in favour of teacher-assed grades, but there’s now a cohort of students who don’t have any grades at all.
Around 20,000 students - 2% of the total - have neither been upgraded or downgraded, but are completely without results due to having no CAGs - centrally assessed grades.
That’s because they’re external candidates: students who have been homeschooled, those who have dealt with illness or bereavement or those who had been resitting exams.
What happens to these students without any grades?
Policy Editor Lewis Goodall reports.
