A Level results downgraded - fear worse for GCSE :(

A Level results downgraded today... I think this is another fine mess courtesy of the clowns currently in office in UK. I really don't think things will be in order for next year either. Total shambles. Again. And I'm guessing it'll be worse for GCSE figures in a week.

I've blocked anyone under 18, but anyone have family members or friends affected?

Isn’t that just in Scotland though? NI Wales and England are all keeping the same system.

@Katabasis Scotland's results all came out last week. A Level for Wales and England today; GCSEs week today. Not sure about NI.

@PhilDeep oh dear. Oh well here we go.

@Katabasis essentially a similar model has been applied. If you go to a high performing school, esp private, independent and grammar your grade is unlikely to be downgraded if you attend a poor performing comprehensive then it likely will be.

It's simply a model they've used they didn't review any work just applied an unfair model that disproportionately disadvantages the disadvantaged again.
