Overhaul of GCSE results could mean fewer grades…. GCSE results could be overhauled with a cut in the number of grades available suggests the exams regulator for England, Ofqual.
Here’s my views….
At last somebody sees sense!
Lets revert to a system that everybody understands.
Grades A,B,C,D,E & U, with C and above being seen as a pass.
The outcome is then clear.
Does anybody really care about the differentiation between F & G? GCSEs should be hard, thus removing the nonsense of A* which is simply an admission of dumbing down.
