EVIDENCE OF LEARNING.

I am lucky because I did pretty well in my terminal exams (deliberate use of that word) But I know that many people don't, and the results are skewed in favour of those from fee-paying schools

We have all seen the Jeremy Clarkson tweets each year when it's A-Level results season telling us why the results don't matter.

Learning can be shown in so many different ways than just the written form

I agree with Joanne Baird: To be fair, we can do better than exams

IT'S A FLAWED TECHNICAL PROCESS.

The process is crazy

Exams are typed by a Principal Examiner >>> They are printed and sent securely to schools >>> The students handwrite them in timed conditions (despite not using pens in their non-school time)

>>> The scripts are collated & posted back to exam centres >>> Scripts are scanned and sent to examiners >>> Exams are marked electronically and grades collated/checked/analysed using a digital system

How are we not seeing the flaws in this? Cost, sustainability, security, speed.
