GCSE and A-level exams in England will be replaced by school-based assessments but a Southampton MP said the decision “will be causing a huge amount of anxiety” to pupils in the city.
Education Secretary Gavin Williamson has confirmed that teachers’ estimated grades will be used to replace cancelled GCSEs and A-levels this summer.
The news comes as earlier this week the Prime Minister announced the closure of schools and colleges as part of a new national lockdown.
Mr Williamson said the government will “put trust in teachers rather than algorithms”.
But Southampton Test MP Alan Whitehead raised concerns over the move.
