GCSE and A Level students in England will not be sitting exams this summer after the country s third Covid lockdown has further disrupted education.
Ahead of a statement in Parliament on Wednesday, the Education Secretary released a briefing that said: The government position is that we will not be asking students to sit GCSE and A Levels.
It added that ministers are working with the exams regulator Ofqual to find a system for awarding grades that reflects the hard work of pupils across the country.
