Ofqual vs The Exam Board!!

 English Exam Terror
Who Will Win!!!



 

After months of waiting for GCSE results, children aged 16 are hoping for C’s in there exam’s. However Ofqual had better ideas. Ofqual changed there boundaries without teachers or pupils knowing. This caused chaos in the UK.

Throughout Britain and Wales teenagers were outraged and disappoint about there English results knowing that these boundaries have been changed. This caused teenagers heartache and truama when they couldn’t get into college or sixth form.  All there hard work wasted. After getting there results tweeters and bloggers discovered a linked letter explaining that this was said weeks before the results were even published. Image that?

As details of the letter reveals, Ofqual’s chef regulator ‘Glenys Stacey’ might as well resign now with all the grief he's going to get. With the letter revealing unremarkable things about the boundaries the future doesn’t look bright for Glenys and his job. Bye Glenys

However head teacher and former Ofqual board member ‘John Townsley’ is outraged about what has happened. “We can see Ofqual has applied pressure to the awarding body in concern with the lower number of C grades awarded, Glenys Stacey should resign”. That’s a lot of people who want Glenys Stacey to resign.The main opinion is of you the public.

Ofqual said letters to and from Exdexcel were correct and right. There reason for this change is to maintain standards. But changing the boundaries two weeks before GCSE is that fair on teenagers?

Another joke on the matter is that Wales are going to get higher grades than England. How is that possible? This made Wales GSCE’s results higher than England. Leighton Andrew feel’s sorry for the welsh teenagers. He states that they have been victims of this row over the lowering of grades.

The letter warns that the grade predications are based on Sats results at the age of only 11. Other factors such as changes that the year group and the new, modular exams system need to be taken in account.

Overall the battle of exam boards is still going on. Hundreds of teenagers devastated about there results and Ofqual getting away with murder. What do you think on the matter? Thank you for reading this exclusive article.
